Congrats to Our 2026 Admits!

The results are in, and we couldn’t be prouder! Our seniors absolutely crushed this admissions cycle, securing spots at 154 different colleges and universities—including some of the most selective Ivy League and Top 15 schools in the nation, such as Stanford, MIT, and Yale. 

Our students tackled the high-stakes stress of college admissions—from late-night essay edits and college major crises to rigorous coursework and time-intensive extracurriculars—and came out on top. Whether they’re headed to an Ivy League campus, a top-tier liberal arts college, or a premier research hub, our seniors found the perfect college fit for each of their unique journeys, and we’re thrilled to see them off as they launch into their next chapter.

To our dear seniors, from all of us at ILUMIN: we are incredibly proud of each and every one of you!
