2016 was another highly competitive year with a record numbers of applicants to both top-tier universities and private schools. Larger applicant pools mean shrinking acceptance rates. However, 2016 has been a banner year for KEY with the incredible results from our students. It is often said in the admissions counselling world that the difference between a successful application and an unsuccessful one is preparation.
