What Colleges Were Whippany Park Students Accepted At?

Parents, staff, administrators and students at Whippany Park High School have a lot to be proud of when they look at where the class of 2013 was accepted at college.

Maria Carrell, the Director of Curriculum for the Hanover Park Regional School District, said not all students have reported their plans for after graduation. A list of where students will actually attend was not available, nor did the district release numbers of how many students were accepted at each institution.

Still, a list of acceptances that includes prominent Ivy League universities, state universities from all over the country and small liberal arts colleges is worth taking a look at.

Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University and Columbia University are all on the map. Seton Hall University, Boston College, Georgetown University and Washington and Lee University are also on the list.

Six campuses from the State University of New York are on the list, as are Syracuse University, LeMoyne College, the University of Scranton and Quinnipiac University.

Students seem to prefer the comforts of home to strange new places. The metropolitan New York area has the most dense gathering of acceptances, followed by New England and regional Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia area, incidentally, has more colleges and universities per square mile than any other place in the country.

The most distant college acceptance is at Boise State University in Idaho. Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Florida are other distant states where students applied and were accepted at college.
