<p class="callout-box semi tight">Why <a href="/admission/apply/">apply to college</a> early? So you’ll have the best possible answer during the holidays when relatives ask where you’re applying to college: “I’ve already been accepted!”</p>
<p class="callout-box semi tight">Why <a href="/admission/apply/">apply to college</a> early? You’ll have lots of time to <a href="/admission/visits/">visit (and re-visit) the colleges</a> you’ve been accepted to.</p>

Pathways to success

Finding her voice

A computer science major and English minor, Ha Truong’21 came to Beloit College because she believed people learn more when they engage in discussion.

“As a high school student in Vietnam, I used to dream of going to a liberal arts college where I could sit in a classroom with people from around the world and hear their views.”

That dream was not only realized when Ha arrived at Beloit, but learning to communicate effectively proved vital when she began honing her skills as a software engineer.
