The Year in Review
College Counseling
Class of 2012: College applications and acceptances were most in CFS history Members of the Class of 2012 submitted more college applications than ever before: a total of 406, an average of 11.9 applications per student. Moreover, the seniors received 199 offers of admission, an average of 5.9 per student. While the number of applications and acceptances was ground breaking, some numbers were not as favorable: I don’t ever recall a year when financial aid packages left seniors and their families with such large gaps to fill in meeting the cost of college attendance. Highly qualified international students found it difficult to gain admission to the schools of their choice if they found themselves in the position of needing considerable financial aid in order to attend. Many colleges and universities are able to admit and enroll plenty of very capable international students who don’t require financial assistance, unfortunately leaving those who do on the outside looking in. Despite these challenges, the Class of 2012 boasts some notable success stories. Doolun Anyam received early acceptance to and was fully funded by NCAA Division III Skidmore College (NY), where he will study and continue his basketball career. Dom Alston will attend Lebanon Valley College (PA) where he received a very favorable financial aid package, and Franky Mills will continue to run cross-country and track at Susquehanna University (PA), another NCAA Division III school that was very generous with its financial aid offer. Dontae Johnson has realized his long held dream of attending the selective Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades in Media, PA. Finally, Bobby Sharp will continue his soccer career at Cabrini College in Wayne, and Jaemo Lee was accepted at several highly competitive schools, eventually choosing to attend Brandeis University.
