With the November 1 College Application deadline done, Class of 2026 is planning for their futures! As of today, the Class of 2026 has submitted 299 college applications, representing 46 of our 62 seniors. From the 46 students who have sent in applications, each student is averaging the same 6.5 vs 6.6 applications compared to the Class of 2025.
So far, we’ve already received 29 acceptances! Our College Counselor, Mr. Wochner has already held 176 individual meetings with students this year, including at least one meeting with every senior. Additionally, Marian Central has hosted 77 college visits this fall (20 more than this time last year), with more scheduled for spring, including our annual CollegeStock event during lunch periods in March.
Of the 16 seniors who have not yet applied anywhere:
• 11 plan to attend McHenry County College or another community college. (MCC encourages students to apply in January once first-semester grades are available for placement and scholarship purposes.)
• 2 are waiting on athletic recruiting process, one swimmer and one wrestler.
• 2 have indicated plans to join trade unions.
• 1 student intends to enlist in the United States Marine Corps.
