MADELINE MACDONALDUNITED STATESGPA: 4.47 SAT: 15402

“I believe the most prominent difference between Melbourne Central Catholic and other schools is the student to staff ratio. It allowed for me to become personally acquainted with a majority of the faculty, which has heightened my professional social skills and improved my learning experience. The two biggest lessons I have learned while studying here are time management and the value of personal growth. I believe these two life lessons will take me far after graduation and beyond.”
