Jul. 2, 2014:  Members of the Bronxville High School Class of 2014 will be attending an impressive array of outstanding colleges next fall.

After many months completing applications and tense waiting, they have made their decisions and have sent their acceptances to colleges and universities throughout the country.

The list of colleges includes the very best of all types of schools from large universities to small liberal arts colleges in every area of the country, from the University of Portland on the West Coast, to Marquette University in the heartland, to the Georgia Institute of Technology in the Deep South, to Northwestern University in the Midwest, to Georgetown and MIT in the East. Among the Ivy Leagues, Bronxville students will be attending Brown (1), Cornell (4), Dartmouth (2), Harvard (2), Princeton (1), University of Pennsylvania (1), and Yale (1).

Members of the senior class began the formal post-high-school process last year under the supervision of the Bronxville High School's guidance department, headed by Anne Abbatecola, with students having several group and individual meetings throughout the year with guidance counselors. She was assisted in the process by the department's three other counselors, Jim Agnello, Ellen Cohen, and Barbara Dhyne.

The students continued to work with guidance counselors during the application period until making their final choice, responding to the colleges, and sending a deposit by May 1 for most regular-decision acceptances. They will be using the summer months to get ready to matriculate next fall.

Below is the list of the colleges and universities that Bronxville students have accepted.

Editor's note: A special thank you to Anne Abbatecola, director of counseling at Bronxville High School, for supplying the list of students and colleges.
