• Where RCS Students Are Accepted for Secondary School

• Where RCS Students Go to College

  The skills students learn at RCS last a lifetime. Alumni often credit their experiences at RCS as a key influencer in choosing a college. As high school seniors applying to college, RCS students have a distinct advantage over some of their peers as they experienced a similarly self-reflective and complex application process when they applied to secondary schools. Moreover, they often refer to their RCS coursework in their college essays and interviews, and they can count on RCS teachers for advice, written recommendations or general support as they continue their education.
  
  The following is a selection of colleges and universities at which RCS students have matriculated in the last five years.
  
  

  American University* American University of Paris Barnard College* Bates College* Boston College* Boston University* Bowdoin College Brown University Bucknell University* Claremont McKenna College Colby College* Colgate University* College of Charleston* College of the Holy Cross* Colorado College* Columbia University* Cornell University* Denison University* Dickinson College* Duke University* Elon University* Emerson College Emory University George Washington University* Georgetown University* Gettysburg College Hamilton College Harvard College Hobart and William Smith Colleges Howard University Indiana University* Ithaca College* Johns Hopkins University Kenyon College* Lafayette College* Lehigh University* Marist College Marquette University Middlebury College* New York University* Northeastern University
