Whether it’s dealing with student loans or tuition struggles, the pandemic hasn’t been easy on college students across the country. But for many teens, the desire to chase their academic dreams and attend a top-notch school hasn’t dwindled, a new survey indicates.
Thousands of students have their eyes set on 50 independent schools aka nonpublic
schools, according to Test Innovators. The Seattle-based online test prep company polled more than 16,000 students about the high schools they plan to apply to for the 2021-22 school year. A few fun facts: Fourteen of these schools on their minds are in California, 92 percent of them are co-ed, and they have notable alumni think poets T.S. Eliot and Ralph Waldo Emerson, astronaut Sally Ride, and business magnate Bill Gates.
