Seniors Succeed in Competitive College Admissions Year

The college list of the class of 2008 is as diverse as the class itself: 110 students will attend 70 colleges and one prep school in 21 states and the District of Columbia.

College Counseling Director Dan Evans said the class had a "tremendous year, especially when considering the intensely competitive admissions landscape that the students had to deal with." Evans explained that most colleges reported record-high applicant pools and record-low admit rates.

Evans said that what he and his colleagues are most proud of the fact that 94 percent of the seniors identified that they were enrolling at one of their top-choice colleges. "The Class of 2008 was extremely talented and the admission outcomes serve as evidence that the students put together compelling applications and gave this process the time and energy that it requires."
