Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
Congratulations Class of 2023!
Arthur Smith Advising students in the high school class of 2023 have done an amazing job!! Thanks to great help from my fellow counselors Kevin Myles and Eve Glasergreen, our students have been admitted to more than 200 different colleges and universities, succeeding in the face of remote learning during their first two years of high school, as well as countless upheavals and changes in the college admissions process over the past few years.
The range of admit offers across these 200+ institutions is impressive.
Some highlights include admission to the most selective universities in the United States, with acceptances to each of these terrific institutions: Stanford, Cornell, MIT, Duke, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn, Yale, Northwestern, Notre Dame, NYU, Georgetown, Washington University, Emory, Rice, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, the University of Southern California, and the University of Chicago.
My students were admitted to some of the nation’s best public universities, including Michigan, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, UNC-Chapel Hill, Virginia, Texas, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Purdue, Washington, Florida, Georgia, UC-Irvine, UC San Diego, Maryland, Virginia Tech, NC State, and Wisconsin-Madison.
Some of the country’s most prestigious private colleges and universities are also represented on the list, including Tufts, Boston College, Rochester, Northeastern, Boston University, Wake Forest, Ithaca College, Lehigh, Syracuse, and Tulane.
In addition, my students were admitted to several outstanding liberal arts colleges, including Williams, Wellesley, Pomona, Bard, Vassar, Trinity, Colgate, Macalester, Wesleyan, Reed, Bucknell, Lafayette, and Richmond.
This was a particularly demanding admissions cycle. Test optional and test blind admissions policies, a rising number of total applicants (many of whom applied to a large number of different schools), and the difficulties admissions committees faced in evaluating transcripts impacted by remote learning were among many factors that came together to make this a challenging landscape.
I’m proud of my students for presenting stand out applications defined by resumes and essays that highlighted the unique attributes they will bring to these amazing colleges and universities. A huge part of the process is identifying the best list of schools for each individual student and given the diversity of institutions represented on this list it is clear our cohort took to heart the task of seeking out an array of schools that they were excited about. In providing the guidance to help our students achieve their goals, we work hard to get to help each student present their story, but the attributes that were evident in every student’s record were resilience and commitment to their dreams!
It was an honor to work with each of these students. Congratulations and best wishes to Arthur Smith Advising students in the class of 2023!
