Peter Frew ’75 Admissions by the Numbers Director of Admissions Ferdie Wandelt ’66 and his team of admissions officers received 4,780 inquiries last year and reviewed more than 1,400 applications for 192 places among this year’s student body. Here’s how the numbers break down: c 460 boarders and 105 day students c 292 boys and 273 girls c 103 lower middlers, evenly divided between boys and girls, chosen from a pool of 730 candidates c Together, they represent 34 states and 19 countries. Students of color make up 24 percent of the student body, with 139—the largest number ever. c Tuition, room, and board for the 2005–06 school year rose by 6 percent to $35,000, with a 10 percent increase in the amount of financial aid awarded—a record $4.7 million. Fudan Scholars Senior Lexi Comstock meets new students Lily Shen ’07 and Julia Qin ’07 while on a summer visit to China. Lily and Julia, who arrived in September, are the school’s first students from Fudan University in Shanghai. “Enrollments at day schools have increased steadily over the past three years,” says Wandelt, “while enrollment at boarding schools has decreased. So why has our applicant pool remained constant? Because Taft enjoys a reputation as a school that stands for academic excellence, first-rate college placement, and is nationally known for the care it brings to raising other people’s children.” c c c Nancy Demmon ’81....................................
