The Class of 2017 is quickly closing in on our annual goal of 100% college acceptance, with many of our cadets facing tough choices among a number of quality colleges to which they have been accepted. Three of our cadets have received appointments to one or more of our nation's service academies, known for being among the most selective colleges to which one can gain admission. One cadet, Graham Luongo, not only received an appointment to the US Coast Guard Academy, he was accepted by a total of twenty-four universities.
Virginia Tech and Hampden-Sydney College are the most popular colleges with cadets so far, with nine cadets accepted to each. Eight cadets have been selected to James Madison University or George Mason University. Two cadets have received appointments to the US Naval Academy, one to the US Military Academy at West Point, and one to the US Coast Guard Academy. Other colleges accepting multiple cadets include the University of Virginia, Arizona State University, Baylor University, Penn State, Purdue University, University of Alabama, University of Tennessee, The Citadel, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
