Our counselors work closely with each student and his family to ensure he attends a college where he will be successful and that provides a comfortable financial situation for his family. As a result, McCallie’s class of 2016 were accepted at the most selective colleges in the United States, the most popular universities around the Southeast and many schools across the country that may be a bit off-the-radar, but best match the students who applied.
