A GUIDE TO COLLEGE and UNIVERSITY ACCEPTANCES for STUDENTS FROM WALTER JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL - Updated, Summer 2011
Every year high school students and their families search for the most "appropriate" college. To assist students in exploring options and identifying schools to investigate further, this College/University Data Guide has been researched and developed by a former Walter Johnson High School (WJHS) parent, Dr. Jim Lipton. This is the 13th consecutive year that a revised Guide has been posted on the WJHS web page. It has been updated for 2011 and contains pertinent information about over 340 colleges and universities in the United States and other countries to which WJHS seniors have applied and at least 3 students have been admitted from 2006 to 2011.
All information was obtained from a database maintained by the WJHS Registrar. Only summary data were compiled so that no individual students were identified at any time. All information is based on student reports and thus may be incomplete. The Guide is not meant to be exhaustive. Be careful about drawing conclusions based on some small sample sizes. We caution you that the data are not meant to "guarantee" admission, but there is lots of helpful information. Also, you should remember that many factors in addition to grades and SAT scores are taken into account by colleges when reviewing your application. These include your essays, letters of recommendation, accomplishments in the arts, music, sports, non-school competitions, and community activities.
In the linked table for colleges and universities, the following data are included by college for WJHS students accepted to the institution from 2006 to 2011: 1) state, 2) number of WJ applicants, 3) percent of WJ students accepted, 4) number of accepted students who indicated they were planning to attend, 5) mean SAT Reasoning (SAT1) scores (maximum score = 2400) of accepted WJ students, 6) lowest SAT 1 score for an accepted WJ student, 7) mean weighted grade point average (WGPA) of accepted WJ students, and 8) lowest WGPA for an accepted WJ student. Over 100 colleges and universities have been added this year, including several more elite schools, institutions considered to be "Colleges That Change Lives," and institutions outside the U.S. For statistical reasons, only colleges/universities at which at least three WJHS students were accepted are included in the table of colleges/universities. It should also be remembered that data represent only those students who submitted information to the WJHS Registrar. Thus all WJHS students accepted by any college may not be included in the tables. Colleges are listed alphabetically by state (first link), and alphabetically by institution (second link). Non-U.S. institutions are listed first in the tables.
