In the fall of 2014, a study showed that around 97 percent of Lake Forest College alumni attended graduate school at an Ivy League college.
The Career Advancement Center reported that last year almost 400 students graduated from Lake Forest College and earned their diplomas. Out of these 400 students, there were 37 that chose to attend graduate school. And 36 of these 37 students are currently attending graduate school at an Ivy League college this year. The CAC happily claims that this is slightly better than their average of 97 percent. John Smith, a sophomore majoring in finance, is thrilled about going to a college like Lake Forest. He is optimistic about his chances of getting into Harvard’s school of business.
“My dream is to go to Harvard one day,” Smith said “I came to Lake Forest because it is easily the best school in the entire nation for getting into any grad school of your choice.” Smith admits his father only pays Lake Forest’s absurd tuition because he is essentially buying his son a free ticket to an Ivy League school of his choice.
97% of Lake Forest students pursuing grad school get into Ivy League.
Brendan McLane, executive Treasurer of Student Government, understands how the college frequently is able to get a high percentage of their students into exceptional graduate schools. “It is currently the time when seniors are applying to graduate schools and strangely last week a good chunk of the student funds mysteriously disappeared without a trace,” McLane said. “Only someone up high chould have taken money like that without any notice.”
McLane would not state explicitly where he believes that money went, but there is no doubt it was used to help get students into their graduate school of choice. “The school is simply doing good business, getting their valued students into good schools no matter what the cost,” McLane said.
Many alumni remain grateful for all that Lake Forest has helped them achieve. Kate Miller, currently the time junior math major at Princeton University, claims she owes everything to the amazing staff at Lake Forest. Miller is proud to be a Lake Forest alumni. She plans to donate to the school after she pursues a profitable career, which will be attributed to getting into an Ivy League college.
“I honestly owe everything to my professors at Lake Forest College and the CAC,” Miller said. “I was never the best student and I never believed I could make it into the best math program in the country, butLakeForestwithallitsmoney and connections made it happen.” Despite that Lake Forest is a seemingly average school, it has an everlasting effect on its students. “I have high hopes for my future,” Smith said. “I think I made the but there is no doubt it was used to help get right life decision coming to Lake Forest College.”
