Inside Admissions

Sayaka Smith

Admissions Officer / British-Japanese hybrid / Tea lover

Hi, I'm Sayaka! I recently jumped over the pond from London, UK to the USA, where I am learning to love the open road as I tour the USA and beyond. My college search started at age 15 and admissions was a world of mystery to this first gen kid from London. My college experiences opened my mind to new careers, new friends and new destinations. I'm passionate about languages, study abroad (Japan is amazing!) and discovering new academic loves. I'll be writing about road experiences and applications advice with a little international flavor. So let's put the kettle on and have a chat about the journey to Tufts!

初めまして、清香(さやか)です。ロンドン生まれ育ち、3年ちょっと前アメリカに引っ越してきました。アメリカとヨーロッパを車で回り、車の旅を好きになっている。母と父は4年大学に行かず、大学に申請する時、入学、申請など、知らないことばかりでした。入学申請の過程は謎でしたね。大学のおかげでさまざまなことを勉強して、いろんな人たちに会い、行ってない国やまちなどに行けることができた。外国語、留学(特に日本)、いろいろ勉強することが大好きです。

旅経験、面接、申請書のアドバイスについて書きます。じゃ、お茶・紅茶の飲みながら、楽しいタフツの話をしましょう。
