On January 17, 2008, a headline in the New York Times exemplified the new reality of college admissions, "Applications to Colleges Are Breaking Records."
So, although rejection is likely for a growing number of applicants, IvyWise students continue to succeed in gaining admission to their top choice schools despite this increased competition! In fact, 69% of IvyWise seniors who submitted early action or early decision applications were admitted.
Congratulations to our students who will be starting their college careers at: Babson, Brandeis, Chapman, Colorado, Dartmouth, Franklin & Marshall, George Washington, Iowa, Loyola-Marymount, Michigan, Northeastern, Northwestern, NYU, Penn, Santa Clara, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin and Yale.
