This morning over 900 young women and men are arriving at WPI and officially becoming the newest members of the WPI Community as part of the Class of 2013! Many members of the student body, faculty, and staff got to know these students over the past months and years as they navigated the college visit, application, and decision making processes. We are all proud of their past accomplishments, and we are excited they are joining our community. Yet again we have broken records: the largest class ever at WPI, the most well qualified academically, and the most diverse geographically and ethnically. The class also has some great accomplishments already, and I’m sure they’ll continue to achieve greatly at WPI.

To the members of the Class of 2013: Welcome—officially! I hope you will seize the opportunities at WPI and make the most of them. If or when you need help, don’t be afraid to ask. Above all, I wish you each the best of luck and extend a warm welcome to the WPI community:

With the members of the Class of 2013 only days away from their arrival on campus, most of the effort of the Admissions Office has turned toward the next application cycle for the Class of 2014. (Don’t worry 2013ers, you’re in good hands with the faculty and student life staff!)

For those of you about to begin your senior year of high school and considering or planning to apply to WPI, now’s your chance to join the official WPI Class of 2014 Facebook group. This group is a great place for you to meet other students considering attending WPI. You never know, you might even connect with your future roommate or best friend! The group is also a great way for you to ask questions of current WPI students, other prospective students, and the Admissions staff. I look forward to interacting with you there.

While you’re at it, why not become a fan of WPI and WPI Admissions?

Please keep in mind that our official Admissions pages and groups are in no way connected to your application review. With that said, please be respectful when posting in the groups and pages; inappropriate and disrespectful posts will be removed.
