CM Class of 2020 VIRTUAL GRADUATION!

On May 31st, College Match held our 1st ever Virtual Graduation to applaud and commend the CM Class of 2020!

Our students will attend over 60 colleges across the nation.

Find out where the College Match Class of 2020 will be attending college by hearing it directly from the students! Our CM Counselors also joined the fun and offered words of wisdom throughout the video below.

Our 192 incredible students had BIG decisions to make. 100% of our students were admitted to a 4-year college, with 90% committing a top 50 college and 70% committing to a top 25 college!

This is their first step towards transforming their life. We hope that they each become more bold and undaunted as they prepare to embark on every new adventure. The entire College Match team applauds their hard work, unwavering dedication, and their tremendous achievements now, and in the future.

Relive the memories and be inspired to become greater by pressing “play” on the video below:
