MKA Sees Successful Conclusion to College Admissions Search

23 April 2012

Once again, Montclair Kimberley Academy is enjoying a successful conclusion to the annual college admissions process. As of April 20, the 101 members of the Class of 2012 had received a record number of acceptances, with 170 schools offering close to 400 offers of admission to MKA students – a remarkable outcome that reflects the strengths, diversity and talents of the MKA student body.

From a strong showing at the “ultras’ (Amherst College, Brown University, Columbia University (2), Cornell University (2), Dartmouth College (2), Duke University (2), Georgetown University (2), U Penn (3), Stanford University (3), Williams College and Yale University) to some extraordinary numbers from some colleges (Northeastern University (11), Boston University (8) Loyola University Maryland (8), Boston College (7), Drexel University (7), the University of Hartford (7) Trinity College (7), Fairfield University (6), Muhlenberg College (6) and Rutgers University (6), and from continued interest from colleges overseas (Cambridge University, St. Andrews University (2), Royal Holloway University of London, Concordia University and McGill University (2) MKA seniors are enjoying the luxury of choice.

“It is particularly gratifying,” notes Head of Campus Dr. David Flocco, “to see the hard work of our students, combined with the expert efforts of our College Counseling Office and the support of our parents, pay off so handsomely. It’s also remarkable for such a relatively small class to be able to have produced students that can follow their love of the arts and athletics – 14 will be continuing their studies in the fine and performing arts and 17 will be playing college athletics – at the next level.”

Below is the full list of colleges accepting members of the Class of 2012. Once seniors have made their final decisions from their wide-range of choices, a final matriculation list will be available in May.
