Academy of Science students have had great success in the college admissions process, having half of the '08 and '09 graduating classes gaining acceptance into the University of Virginia. In addition approximately 25% of the 2009 graduating were accepted into Ivy league universities. Among the students of the class 2009, 35 applied to the University of Virginia, 20-25 students were accepted. For UVa, this rate (~64%) is a better rate than general applicants (38%), but behind other academic programs like International Baccalaureate (70%).

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
