On May 1st, many colleges and universities required accepted students to secure a spot by sending in a deposit. For many of our seniors this was a difficult decision, because they had been accepted to so many wonderful schools. Students in the class of 2018 earned admission to an array of institutions, including Bowdoin, The College of William and Mary, Davidson, Dickinson, Emory, Franklin & Marshall, Goucher, Haverford, Macalester, Middlebury, Morehouse, Oberlin, SUNY Purchase, Skidmore, Temple, The Ohio State University, University of Colorado at Boulder, Temple, Tuskeegee University, University of Vermont, University of Virginia, and Yale. Many celebrated this week by walking the halls in gear from their postsecondary school of choice.

Oh, and I know of a Carleton too.

I'm a Latin skeptic, but this is a pretty impressive list.

And among the 72 seniors, $6.3 million in merit- or need-based aid, including a Posse Scholarship and the Children Defense Fund’s “Beat the Odds” scholarship. From Legenda.

This list is impressive. Good job seniors.!!!

Way to go Latin! Congrats to all the students!

Exactly! This thing where students' college admissions offers are posted on DCUM for the harpies to pick apart is gross.

I was up in Philly last weekend and met students from Temple and Michigan Tech at the Science Fair. Wow were these kids impressive! These are 2 schools that are rarely mentioned on DCUM and if these were my kids I would be proud at the young adults they had become.

Latin's college counselors do an amazing job matching students to a good post-secondary fit---taking into account their records, their interests, and financial realities. There are kids who go to Ivies. There are kids who go to SLACs. There are kids who go to HCBUs and kids who go to large state universities. Starting in 9th grade, the counselors send out weekly emails tailored to each grade. At the beginning of junior year, the juniors each fill out an 80 question detailed questionnaire regarding their background and interests, so the counselors can start advising them regarding potential "fits" in one-on-one meetings during the spring. In the summer, before senior year, the counseling office, together with the English department, sponsor several 3 day "Application Boot Camp" seminars to help kids work on their essays. The counseling office is relentless in assembling and advertising scholarship opportunities and hosting additional workshops during the winter to help students apply for those.
