College acceptance season is here, and we’re excited to celebrate the great news already coming in for the Class of 2025. Up until this week, our seniors have been accepted to a wide range of respected universities, including Emory University, Boston College, the University of California system (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Davis), the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and KAIST, one of Asia’s top science and technology institutions. Students also received offers from Penn State, Texas A&M, San Diego State, Cairn University and Purdue University Fort Wayne, each offering programs that align with their individual strengths and goals.

We’re also proud to share that several students have received merit-based scholarships. Among them, Dana was awarded a full scholarship to Cairn University, recognizing both her academic achievement and outstanding character. She will also be playing soccer for their NCAA D3 women's team. Congrats, Captain!

While many of our American university applicants have already heard back, others, including students applying to Korean universities, are still in the process or awaiting decisions.
