Ready, Saint, Go!
At the invitation of Marymount University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the Ready, Saint, Go! program provides recent high school graduates a chance to develop a growth mindset and academic skills so they transition into a Marymount fall semester with confidence and purpose.
“Ready, Saint, Go! really helped me form good habits and mindsets for the college setting, and even after college. Through how to manage time properly, [maintain] consistent motivation, and [have] a growth mindset, I have heavily improved skills of success for not only school, but with my personal life and [for] future professional environments. These classes made it easy to self-advocate and made me less scared of reaching out for help both academically and personally. I firmly believe taking RSG will extremely help me prepare for college and I feel much more prepared than anyone I know who has not taken it.” – Sophia S., Cybersecurity major
