Congratulations, Class of 2026!

The vast majority of our students’ final responses have been received (with the exception of waitlists and Canadian schools that run a slightly later schedule), and I am so, so proud of this class! My definition of success is always about prioritizing:

1) mental health, because there is no amount of anxiety that will guarantee a certain outcome;

2) connection, because there is no amount of arguing that will guarantee a certain outcome; and

3) one best option, because a student can only attend one school at a time.

So I like to ask: Where would you like to begin your future?

Not, Where do you want to go? No emphasis on, “The next four years of your life.” While that is common, it’s also common to change one’s mind, to learn about oneself and realize that there is another path you want to take.

Here are a few places where this year’s students have been invited to begin their futures. Every invitation deserves celebration!
