Congratulations, high school seniors!

Because I tutor students from fifth grade through college, I always work with a handful of high school seniors each year — which means I am highly involved in the college admissions process every fall, and highly interested in the results of my seniors’ applications. And I thought some of you might be interested in how my seniors did this year.

In short, they did great. Understand, for some students, doing “great” does not necessarily mean an offer to attend UCLA, UC Berkeley, or NYU. Different schools suit different students. But I am proud—extremely proud—of every one of my students, for each one has gotten the most out of their ability, and each is well positioned to thrive in college.

With the preceding note in mind, I am pleased to report that my handful of seniors have received admissions offers from:

UCLA (multiple offers), UC Berkeley, UC San Diego (multiple), UC Davis (multiple), UC Santa Barbara (multiple), UC Irvine (multiple), UC Santa Cruz (multiple), New York University, Boston University (multiple), University Of Washington (multiple), University Of Oregon, Cal State San Jose (multiple), Harvey Mudd (waiting list), Willamette University, Marquette, SMU, Fordham, University of Santa Clara (multiple), and Marquette.

I am super proud of each and every one of my kids, and so very happy for their caring, devoted parents!

Congratulations seniors and families!!!
