Congratulations to the Class of 2011 <BR> on College Acceptances

College acceptances continue to roll in for New Hampton School's Class of 2011, and the College Counseling Office is enjoying unprecedented success. Seniors were accepted to over 180 different colleges and universities and are now in the midst of making difficult -- yet exciting -- decisions about where they will enroll. According to Head of School Andrew Menke, the number of highly selective schools accepting NHS students and the options seniors now have in the college process speaks to the renaissance at New Hampton School.

"We are incredibly proud of the work of Director of College Counseling Marty Elkins and her team," Menke says. "The strong results validate the hard work and innate ability of the senior class and the acceptance of our seniors to so many different colleges mirrors the diversity, and inherent strength, of the class as a whole."

Marty Elkins, who is in her second year running the New Hampton School College Office, is thrilled with the results.

"The 180 different colleges and universities reflects the breadth and scope of our student body. That diversity also means our students are not focused on any one region or selectivity ranking, but look nationally at a wide range of colleges," says Elkins.

"In particular, the class of 2011 was 'read well' by college admission officers. They recognized New Hampton School students are seen as academically well prepared. Each student effectively projected themselves and their personal talents and passions on their applications. Also, admission offices recognized the gifts New Hampton School students would bring to college campuses in specialty programs--in the visual and performing arts, engineering, research, writing, and global issues."

Seniors have been accepted to colleges and universities all around the country including Bard, Brandeis, Brown, Boston University, Bucknell, Cornell, Lafayette, Lehigh, NYU, Trinity, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of Virginia,  and Williams.

Students with ambitions to study the arts were accepted by some of the premier art schools in the nation including Rhode Island School of Design and Parsons School of Design. Here is a list of the schools to which members of the Class of 2011 have been accepted:
