Kelly Wyper spent her early childhood years in Atlanta, GA. She then moved abroad with her family to attend an international middle school in Barcelona, Spain and then an American high school just outside London. Kelly's first trip to the state of Texas was to visit the SMU campus as a prospective student. Not long after that, Kelly became an SMU student and earned her Bachelor's degree by double majoring in Corporate Communications & Public Affairs and Spanish while minoring in Art History.
While at SMU, Kelly was able to study abroad, gain experience through multiple internships (both in Dallas and abroad), volunteer regularly, hold leadership positions in her sorority and work in the Undergraduate Admissions Office as a Hilltop Ambassador. Before becoming an Admissions Counselor, Kelly worked at a local advertising agency.
College Tip:
Take notes! Dozens of college visits can blend together after a while. Write down who you talked to, what you saw, what you liked the most and least about each experience. Aim to spend a little time each week devoted to reading those handfuls of college brochures you're accumulating. The college selection process is such an exciting time in your life, and the decision is 100% yours! Make it count!
