The college admissions season is off to an exciting start as early offers have begun arriving for the Shanghai American School Class of 2026. From the first round of decisions alone, it is clear that this is shaping up to be another exceptional year for our seniors. As we gallop into the Year of the Horse and more decisions continue to roll in over the coming months, we look forward to celebrating each new opportunity and milestone alongside our students.

Our seniors have challenged themselves academically, pursued their interests with purpose, and navigated the demanding application process with determination. They have done so with the guidance of their teachers, counselors, and families, whose steady support continues to make a powerful difference. It is inspiring to see their efforts recognized by outstanding universities including Ivies, highly selective schools, and leading global universities.

At SAS, we are proud of every Eagle and the incredible futures they are building. Our College Counseling team is deeply committed to helping each student find the best fit university and program for their goals and aspirations. While a few students may have already finalized their plans through Early Decision, for most, this is just the beginning of the college journey. We will continue supporting and cheering them on every step of the way as they move forward with confidence into this exciting next chapter.

Congratulations, Class of 2026.
