It Takes A Village
The early results for the AV Class of 2028.
Before we get to the results, I want you all to realize that everyone will experience some disappointment and heartache in this process. For colleges it is all about creating a class and who fits what they need for their class. For more about this please read our blog post on institutional priorities from last year. Best fit makes it often hard to predict which college will say yes and which will not. This year we had incredible students offered spots in highly impacted majors like Computer Science at top programs, who were deferred from slightly less selective places. It can also be about the best fit to major. Another student was offered a spot at a highly selective public flagship with a single-digit acceptance rate for out-of-state students in a highly sought-after major, but that same student was denied or deferred at similar, less selective institutions. This process is not for the faint of heart, and we want everyone to realize they are not alone.
At this point in the process, slightly more than half of our class have decided where they are enrolling next year. Every student in our senior class has been accepted to at least two colleges they would be happy to attend, with many more decisions still to come. Our students have been accepted to approximately 100 colleges, and they have received over $5,000,000 in merit aid.
We are SO PROUD of our special Admissions Village class of 2028! These incredible young people researched each college on their list and really focused on finding their best-fits. This college list is as diverse as the students themselves and represents a lot of hard work.
Thank you to all who helped make this early round such a success. It takes a village!
