Class of 2017 College Decisions
The Ellis School is pleased to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2017. This talented group of 30 young women has been accepted to 83 distinguished colleges and universities that are reflective of their unique talents and aspirations. These admissions are as diverse as our students themselves, representing 11 different states plus the District of Columbia. The students intend to study art, engineering, humanities, and the sciences—among many other majors.
As it is so often the case with The Ellis School graduates, many of our students received merit scholarships awards, and direct entry to specialized honors and leadership programs upon acceptance (including the Stamps Scholarship at the University of Pittsburgh and direct entry medical programs).
Our students compete successfully against the country and world’s top talent, with 23% of the class choosing to enroll in a “Most Competitive” school, according to Barron’s categories of selectivity. Our students gained admission to more than 22 schools in the “Most Competitive” category, alone.
Ellis students score exceptionally well on the SAT. When compared to girls nationally, Ellis girls score at least 20% higher in every category. 95% of the students indicated that they felt well-supported by Ellis through their college process.
With 30 girls attending 27 distinct institutions, it’s clear that Ellis’ very personal approach to the college search works. Individual attention from teachers, small class sizes and a rigorous curriculum prepares, empowers and inspires each girl to find and embrace her best-fit college.
Join us in congratulating these exceptional young women for their scholarly achievements and for their many contributions as daughters, friends, athletes, artists, scholars, and leaders.
