20 Most Popular Out-of-State Colleges for Arlington Grads

This story has been updated.

Arlington’s Class of 2022 submitted nearly 13,500 college applications last year, with a heavy emphasis on these top 20 schools (a list that, not surprisingly, includes many Virginia colleges and universities). But where were last year’s grads most inclined to apply outside the commonwealth?  The following list of out-of-state colleges and universities was drawn from Arlington Magazine’s annual College Admissions snapshot, which highlights where APS graduating seniors applied and were accepted. Data are provided for H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program, Wakefield High School, Washington-Liberty High School and Yorktown High School, as well as the Arlington Career Center (ACC), whose full-time programs include Arlington Tech, the Academic Academy, the Program for Employment Preparedness (PEP) and the English Language Institute. Tuition and enrollment data are sourced from USNews.com.
