	College Placement


	The goal of the Midland College Counseling Center is to help our students find the right college, one that fits each student's goals. It is a comprehensive process that includes research, standardized testing, recommendations, and various other steps. Our college counselor helps guide our students through this important process. Please contact Lynda Cummings, our college counselor, if you have questions about the process. She is at phone extension 121.

Final Meeting with Seniors

College Counselor Lynda Cummings met with the current seniors for the last time this year and gave them her parting words of wisdom before they head off to their various post-Midland experiences.

	Acceptances, Matriculations


	Colleges love a Midland application because they know that Midland candidates are already adept at being self-driven scholars, can manage time effectively, and know how to take care of themselves. PLUS, admissions people recognize that Midland graduates have done something truly remarkable for high school, and are not afraid of taking risks and challenges. They know that the student will be well-rounded, a purposeful and productive member of their college community, and comfortable working with their professors. Following is a list of colleges and universities that have enrolled Midland graduates from 2003-current: Arizona, Arizona State U, Bard, Berry, Boston U, California College of the Arts, Cal Poly, Case Western, CSU Chico, CSU Humboldt, CSU San Francisco, Chapman, Clark, Colorado College, Colorado State, Columbia College, Covenant, Deep Springs, Dominican, Drew, Earlham, Emerson, Evergreen State, Goucher, Guilford, Hampshire, Lewis & Clark, Linfield, MICA, Montana State, NYU, Northeastern, Occidental, Oregon,OTIS, Parsons School of Design, Philadelphia U, Pitzer, Pratt, Princeton, Rocky Mtn. College, Saint Mary's College of CA, Sarah Lawrence, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Smith, St. John's (NM), Stanford, Swarthmore, Syracuse, U of British Columbia, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, Vermont, Warren Wilson, Wellesley, Whitmam, Willamette, Williams, Woodbury, Yale The list of colleges who have accepted Midland graduates is much longer. The bottom line is that Midland students are as well prepared for college as any graduates in the country.
