The 2025–2026 college admission cycle was a whirlwind for students and families. Applications increased and admit rates became even more competitive, but through every challenge, our graduating class rose to the occasion with incredible resilience.
This year, colleges placed a high value on authenticity, seeking students whose applications reflected genuine character and personality. Our goal is always to help students find campuses where they can thrive academically, socially, and personally, and we are confident their essays—which honestly reflected who they were—contributed to their success. Bravo Class of 2026 for putting your heart into your applications!
The “right” college means something different to every student, so it’s exciting to see our class heading to vibrant art and design communities, powerhouse athletic programs, elite music and theatre conservatories, and specialized business and engineering programs. They are choosing intimate liberal arts environments, faith-based campuses, competitive BS/MD pathways, and schools that offer excellent value through in-state tuition opportunities.
Their interests are just as diverse. It has been a joy to celebrate future comedians, researchers, athletes, artists, nurses, business leaders, engineers, and physicians. We were also thrilled about the merit scholarships and financial aid they earned, which gave many students even greater freedom in choosing their next step.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026—and to the families who supported them. We are honored to have shared this journey with you and are so proud of all you have achieved already!
