Every year, we at The Adroit Journal witness a brilliant class of high school seniors apply and head off to college. We’re honored to share the matriculation list of this year’s class of senior mentorship students and staff readers!
This year, the University of Pennsylvania snagged a whopping eight of our seniors, followed by Harvard University and Princeton University, which snagged seven and six Adroit students respectively.
In particular, we’re proud to share that mentorship student Cassandra Hsiao (’16, Poetry) made international headlines this year as an admit to all eight Ivy League schools and Stanford. Read her touching, evocative application essay here.
We wish each of the below forty students the best as they embark on their next chapters, and hope they’ll stay in touch! (We have a feeling they will.)
