Start the process early. Westminster is extremely competitive and there are students on a wait list. Take time to fill out the application to the best of your ability and write your essay early so you have time to proofread it several times and make adjustments. If you're accepted, make sure you read your inquiry book the summer before you come to school; you'll get much more out of your inquiry class if you're well preparred. Also, be invloved in high school. Westminster values students that are civically engaged and give back to their community.

For someone not involved in Greek Life, the weekend can be quite slow. Usually for me, I use Saturday mornings to sleep in, as well as spend time with my friends. Saturday evenings are spent getting ready to attend frat houses, and going out with my group of people. We usually stay out until the parties close, and then my friends and I go back to the dorms to make mac & cheese. Sunday mornings all of my friends and I eat brunch at Duff, where they have amazing omelettes. Then, we spend Sunday afternoons/evenings going to the grocery store and studying.
