[quote=Anonymous]Haverford alum from approx ten years ago originally from MCPS.  I LOVED so much about the honor code, quaker roots, autonomy that students were given at Haverford however:

1. Felt ill prepared and suffered imposter syndrome academically coming from MCPS.

2. HATED the small size especially coming from an extremely diverse community and nearly transferred to a bigger, more urban school (McGill); Haverford is mainly upper middle class, mainly white and 90% liberal making for very little difference of opinion in the classroom. I had visited in person and did LOVE the friendliness and inclusivity of the social scene however had come from being a fairly popular kid in high school and had already had exposure to drugs, alcohol thus felt annoyed by the majority of the sheltered-ness and geekiness of the rest of the campus.

3. Based a lot of my decision on the ranking that Haverford had because that's what I thought I should do at 18. God help 18 year olds making these decisions.

4. Played sports and felt like that strongly affected my acceptance.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
