The St. John's Instant Decision Day at McKee was incredibly successful! Students were given information on the admission process, scholarships, financial aid and shadowing days from the very awesome Samantha Hastler from St. John's University.

I would like to give a big congratulations to the students who have currently been accepted to St. John's University as of today!
