What a fun week!  Crazy & exhausting, but the stats say it all.  We had a great time sharing in students’ excitement as they submitted multiple college apps all ahead of the Early Action deadlines! 

Stats attached, but here is a summary:

• 240 student visits to a College App Lab during VCAW week, Oct 21-25; (some students came multiple times)
• 112 students completed the state-wide VCAW survey. 
• Based on completed surveys:
  • Students submitted a total of 361 college applications during VCAW.
  • Participating in VCAW saved HHS students approximately $20,000 based on a $55 average application fee;  FYI - app fees range from $50 - $75. 
• 20.5% identified as a first-generation student (meaning their parents did not complete college).
• JMU, UVA, VT received the highest number of applications in that order.
  • Followed by CNU, VCU, GMU, ODU, WM in that order.
  • Keep in mind GMU Direct Admit students have a separate process not included in VCAW
• Marymount and Shenandoah were leaders within the private VA schools. 

The class of 2025 Hornets are on their way to college!  Enjoy the pics:)
