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.  That is why Midland, despite the small size of its senior classes, employs a college counselor who will help guide our students through this important step.   Please contact Lynda Cummings, our college counselor, if you have questions about the process. She is at phone extension 21.



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, Cal Poly, Case Western, CSU Chico, CSU Humboldt
CSU San Francisco, Colorado State, Deep Springs, Dominican, Earlham
Goucher, Hampshire, Linfield, MICA, Montana State
Occidental, Oregon, Pratt, Princeton, Rocky Mtn. College
Sarah Lawrence, Smith, St. John's (NM), Stanford, Swarthmore
Syracuse, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz, Vermont, Warren Wilson, Wellesley, Whitmam
Willamette, Williams, 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.
