Wang Of Hoosick To Attend University Of Dayton

Fan Wang of Hoosick is attending the University of Dayton this fall as part of an incoming class that is the most selective in school history, as well as one of the most academically prepared and geographically diverse. The University welcomed about 1,900 first year students when classes started August 21.
“We are exceptionally pleased with the quality and the size of the incoming class,” said Sundar Kumarasamy, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing. “With increasing competition in Ohio and nationally for a declining number of college-aged students, we are gratified to see the University of Dayton’s continued broad appeal all over the world. It’s a resounding endorsement of the academic quality and value of a Catholic, Marianist education.”
Wang comes to campus as part of the most competitive class in the University’s history. Only about one out of every two applicants was accepted, as competition to get into the private, Catholic university continues to rise. At 52 percent, overall selectivity is up nearly 30 percentage points in just a decade.
This is the first class to receive a four year financial plan with full disclosure of all costs and a pledge their scholarships and grants will grow dollar for dollar each year to match tuition increases. It’s part of a national call for transparency in college costs and has been very well received by parents and students, according to Kumarasamy.
