We’re excited to share an update on applications to US universities, which brought SFC2 pupils some much‑anticipated news as they returned for Spring Term.
This academic year, a total of 43 students applied to universities in the United States, including four members of the Class of 2025 who submitted post‑qualification applications. Altogether, our pupils submitted almost 400 applications to nearly 100 universities, with approximately 50 of these sent during the early application period.
From the early application round, students have already received offers from Babson College, Bard College, Barnard College, Brown University, Case Western Reserve University, Cornell University, Emory University, Fordham University, Northwestern University, Santa Clara University, Sarah Lawrence College, and the University of Southern California. Further outcomes are expected throughout January and February.
The regular application round has now closed, and we expect to hear more decisions from that later this term. Some students will continue to apply to universities with rolling admissions processes.
While we are delighted to share these outstanding achievements, we also want to recognise the hard work and dedication of our pupils applying to UK institutions and other international destinations.
These successes reflect the resilience, determination, and ambition of our students, alongside the exceptional support of our Professional Guidance Centre team, who work closely with each individual to help them navigate every stage of the application process.
