During the 2025 admissions cycle, 3.9 million students submitted a whopping 8.5 million college applications using the Common App platform. Following recent trends, this year brought increasing application volume and selectivity at many colleges and universities. Despite this, our seniors (and college counseling team) had a very successful application cycle!
As students wrap up their final classes and graduation parties begin, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate Galin’s Class of 2025 and their accomplishments.
This year, Galin seniors….
- submitted 1700+ applications
- received 1000+ acceptances
- were awarded over $21.9 million in scholarships at 100+ colleges
Those are some numbers worth celebrating!
Our students were accepted to more than 230 unique colleges and universities in the Midwest, across the United States, and beyond. Creating balanced college lists and finding campuses where students will thrive are crucial to our process and our students’ future success.
UW-Madison is by far our “top college,” with more than 100 of our students applying to become Badgers. Like many state flagships, UW-Madison continues to become much more competitive each year, particularly for majors such as business and engineering. As the cost of college rises, this university offers great value for our in-state students and continues to attract even more qualified out-of-state applicants. Galin students had an 81% acceptance rate at UW-Madison!
Our students were also very successful at highly selective colleges across the country. Stay tuned for a debrief of our highly selective admissions outcomes in an upcoming blog!
We are so proud of our graduates and thrilled to have helped them along their journey to finding their best-fit colleges. For the seniors, we appreciate your hard work this year; for the parents, thank you for allowing us to guide your families throughout this process.
