Five for Five

Adam asked me today if I'd go 5 for 5 and post today about committee....it was a long week but here it is!!

Another good day of decision making came to a close a few hours ago and I've been spending a little time running the numbers at home. We have about 100 more files to wrap up early next week and have 180 files that still haven't been reviewed because they are not complete.

Today Karen and I spent time reviewing many of the applications we have from China and Jen lead a committee meeting of most of the remaining counselors to discuss their remaining candidates.

It's always interesting to see which schools send us the most applicants. The top 10 are always fairly similar, but the positions do change a bit year to year....

The top 10 this year:
(In Massachusetts unless noted)

Acton-Boxborough Regional HS - 40
Shrewsbury HS - 31
Wachusett Regional HS - 31
Bishop Guertin HS (NH) - 27
Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science - 27
North Quincy HS - 25
Bishop Feehan HS - 24
Salem HS (NH) - 23
Boston Latin School - 23
Quincy HS - 23

The top 5 outside the United States:

Nanjing Foreign Languages School (China) - 20
Academia Interamericana (Panama) - 11
HS Affililated with Nanjing Normal Univ (China) - 11
Chengdu No 7 Middle School (China) - 10
Koc Ozel Lisesi (Turkey) - 9

I suspect the numbers are so high at Action-Boxborough since I was the one to visit this year:)

More posts to come as the decisions mail. Hope you enjoyed hearing a bit more about our committee meetings this week.
