Seven Seniors Headed to the West Coast

It's the last week of classes for our wonderful seniors! AP exams are over (almost), the roses are in full bloom all over campus and, unless you are waiting on news from a school where you are wait-listed, you are DONE with the college application process. Last week, college counseling presented our "State of the Union" to Visitation's Board of Trustees. In addition to the usual statistics about the average test scores, total application numbers, matriculation data, and numbers, numbers, numbers, we presented some "fun facts" about the Class of 2011's College Choices that we thought you would enjoy.

Several members of the Class of 2011 will attend colleges that have not enrolled a Visi student for as long as we have been keeping electronic records. Those schools are:
Belmont University
Ursinus College
San Diego State University
Gonzaga University
Loyola Marymount University
A few others where "it's been awhile."
Georgia Tech (last Visi grad who attended was the Class of 2003)
Kenyon College (last Visi grad who attended was the Class of 2002)

In addition to the seven seniors headed to the west coast, three girls will attend college in Texas, two are headed out of the country for college, and one senior will to a Gap year. We are so proud of the Class of 2011 for their independent spirit! It is wonderful to add new schools to our matriculation list in addition to the usual suspects from previous years. Your choices reflect the serious attention you gave to finding the right fit and keeping an open mind. Well done!
