Class of 2016—Where They’re Going Calhoun students are continuing on to small liberal arts colleges and conservatories, technical colleges and large universities—public and private institutions, spread geographically across the country. And once again, our students defied projections and conventional “wisdom” when it came to college acceptances: A record number of members of the Class of 2016 applied early—and were admitted—to their top-choice schools: 27 applied Early Decision and 20 were admitted; another 14 applied Early Action to the school they’ll be attending in the fall. Forty percent of our seniors were admitted to everywhere they applied! But these heartening statistics only marginally reveal how thoughtful our students were during the process; what makes it clearer is how their destinations reflect the rich diversity and individuality of each and every one—many choosing to follow the road less traveled!
