They Chose: Princeton University Intended Majors: Classics (Grace) & Mathematics / Visual Art (Kelsey)
She Chose: University of Mississippi Intended Major: Exercise Science (Recruited athlete for Softball)
Grace: “Curriculums tailored to my individual interests allowed my pursuit of Classics to begin at a young age. My school has left me certain that being a scholar is being bold.”
“Agnes Irwin has been a place where I’ve been able to grow both academically and personally. The community has pushed me to try new things, build meaningful relationships, and become more confident in myself. I’m especially grateful for the teachers and friends who made school feel supportive and inspiring every day.”
“My time at Agnes Irwin has only been four years, but in that time, I have had the opportunity to succeed, fail, and grow. Getting the chance to learn in an all-girls environment was such an empowering experience, and getting to continue to learn and grow in a similar environment is something I am forever grateful for.”
Kelsey: “Fueling intellectual curiosity, Agnes Irwin empowers you to ask questions and work with others to develop unique solutions.”
Sarah Quin, Senior Associate Director of College Counseling, arrived at AIS in 2019 from an independent day school in NYC, where she worked in college advising.

Saira
She Chose: Williams College Intended Major: Undecided (Recruited athlete for Squash)
She Chose: New York University Intended Major: Global Health
“One of the main reasons I’ve decided to attend a small college is because I place such a high value on being part of a nurturing, tight-knit community, similar to what we have here at Agnes Irwin. As a student-athlete at AIS, I could always look to my teachers, coaches, and peers for support in balancing a rigorous course load with my athletic commitments.”
“Throughout high school, I have thrived academically when I have had the opportunity to explore the intersections between my two passions: public policy and biology. Agnes Irwin gave me the opportunity to continue blending science and history in my course selection.”

Addison
She Chose: UC Berkeley Intended Major: Architecture
“Up until high school, I was nervous to try new things. Agnes Irwin’s vast array of opportunities allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and discover new things about myself. From traveling to Japan for SSP to being elected into leadership positions, my confidence in myself and my abilities has skyrocketed, allowing me to achieve more than I ever expected.”
