Class of 2009 Acceptances

This is in response to Y5 parent's query on the college destinations of the recent alumni, by which I assume he or she is referring to the Class of 2009. I wouldn't want to link names to particular colleges for two reasons: (1) not everyone likes having their college destinations being revealed by an 'unauthorized' party (2) the only information with real value to a parent is where our students have been accepted, not where they ultimately choose to enroll. In fact, I'd say that the places where our students have been accepted is far more important because it reveals more about the capabilities of our graduating class, instead of ultimate enrollment decisions which are shaped by things such as financial constraints or preference for one location/culture over another and so on. I hope you also understand why I am not including the number of acceptances because once again, it will add little value while possibly creating misconceptions about one's probabilistic chances (when with universities of this caliber, it's often just a crapshoot).

Since there's been no official document collating all our acceptances, I'm compiling to the best of my knowledge an admittedly incomplete list of places where members of the Class of 2009 have been accepted. If anyone would like to add on places that I have either overlooked or am unaware of, please do. (Vanessa: I've added what I've gleaned from Open House.) For now, here's the list:
