The doorways of Pingry’s College Counseling Office continue to be filled with Form VI college application veterans as well as Form V students who are just embarking on the college search process.
The first wave of Early Decision results for the Class of 2010 started arriving in December, and Director of College Counseling Tim Lear '92 notes that “with eighteen seniors applying Early Decision II to fourteen different colleges and universities, we’re hopeful that the good news continues for the class.”
He also offered these facts and figures about the current application season for the 134 seniors of the Class of 2010:
• 114 seniors (85%) have applied early in some form
• 91 seniors have 121 acceptances from 61 different colleges and universities
• 49 seniors are already finished with the process via Early Decision/Early Action
• 169 different colleges and universities have received applications from Pingry seniors
• 15 of the admitted seniors are recruited athletes
• 48 seniors (36%) have been honored by the National Merit Scholarship Program
Schools already accepting at least two Pingry seniors: Brown, Chicago, College of Charleston, Columbia, Cornell, Dickinson, Duke, Georgetown, Gettysburg, Hamilton, James Madison, Johns Hopkins, Kenyon, Lafayette, Lehigh, Miami (FL), Michigan, Middlebury, Penn State, Pennsylvania, Rutgers, Vassar, Vermont, Villanova, Williams, and Yale.
Congratulations to our seniors and to our College Counseling Office staff!
