Class of 2017 College Decisions are In!

May 1 was national college decision day, and Tandem Friends seniors have made their choices! The Class of 2017 had some tough choices to make - the 23 seniors received 67 college acceptances from wonderful schools. With the final list in, they will be attending 17 different schools as far north as Middlebury College, as far south as Savannah College of Design, as far west as Oxford College of Emory University, and as far east as New York University. The most popular college choice this year was our own UVA, with six seniors accepted and five attending. Tandem seniors were popular with other bigger state schools, with five accepted and two attending The College of William and Mary, four accepted and two attending Virginia Commonwealth University, and three accepted and one attending at both Virginia Tech and George Mason.

They were accepted into schools as far north as University of British Columbia, as far west as UC Berkeley, and as far east as Boston (Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis and Northeastern). They chose not to attend, to name a few, four University of California schools, University of Pennsylvania, Northeastern University and Wesleyan University. We snapped a picture of most of them in their college T's on May 1. Check out their full list of acceptances and decisions.
