Whither the MHS Class of 2005?

Also: 10 National Merit Finalists for MHS 2006

by Joan R. Simon

(September 28, 2005) Students graduating Mamaroneck High School in June 2005 were accepted at 265 different colleges, universities or other institutes of higher learning, but ended up attending only 139 schools. (See the complete list of Acceptances and Attendances below.) In all, 93% of the class is attending college, with 84% at 4-year schools.

The trend toward applying for early admission is continuing and even accelerating, according to the MHS Counseling Department, which reported the number "now approaching 40%." That's up from around 35% last year. (See: MHS Class of 2004: Where are They Going?)

What About Those Bound for Tulane?

The "Attendance" list shows two MHS students headed to Tulane, but with Hurricane Katrina's arrival just in time for freshman orientation, both have found temporary landfall elsewhere. Daniel Haber is at SUNY Binghamton, reported his mother. "They were very gracious and were taking in New York State residents from Tulane, " said Wendy Haber. SUNY was also offering on campus housing, a big plus for Daniel's mom. Jesse Groveman is at the University of Colorado, and "she's very happy," said her mom, Lauren Groveman. The two will have an opportunity to start again at Tulane in January, when the university anticipates starting spring semester on schedule.

And Then There's the Class of 2006

Next year's group of college attendees will no doubt include the MHS National Merit Semi-finalists for 2005. Ten members of the senior class of 2006 are listed as finalists, including: Diana Bilbao, Dylan Birchard, Elizabeth Cruikshank, Jacob Fiddelman, Allison Kahler, Laura Staffaroni, Midori Uehara, Craig Weinrib, Benjamin Wrobel, and Layla Zaidane.
