Colleges Still Accepting Applications

The majority of our high school seniors are enjoying their spring semester, eagerly looking forward to a summer without any college admissions work and a fall at the school of their dreams. They put in the work and got the admissions results they hoped for.

We are aware, however, that this admissions cycle has been beyond rough for many seniors. We see YOU. We hear YOU. We KNOW and report the astounding admissions statistics. So, for you, we’ve compiled the below information.
