Celebrating More College Acceptances
February 16th, 2026
Our students are hard at work, tackling a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum across the liberal arts, growing in writing and communication skills, engaging deeply beyond the classroom, and growing as whole human beings. At Pacifica, our aim is not only to help students open doors to college, but to be the very best person on campus once they arrive, to be thoughtful contributors, grounded leaders, and people of character on their college campuses.
The goal is high, and our students are rising to meet it.
Recent early acceptances include the University of Michigan (two students), the University of Southern California (three students), the University of Miami, Vanderbilt University, and more.




These students will join Pacifica alumni studying and building lives across the country at institutions such as University of Notre Dame, University of Texas at Austin, Stanford University, Harvard University, Columbia University, Princeton University, University of California Berkeley, University of California Los Angeles, Tulane University, Rice University, New York University, Northwestern University, SMU, TCU, Baylor, Boston College, Villanova University, Santa Clara University, and Georgia Institute of Technology, among many others.
There’s even a friendly rivalry brewing for the top landing spot for Pacifica graduates: currently 12 alumni at UCLA, 13 at USC, and 6 at Cal.
Upcoming college counseling events include a San Diego college day trip on February 10, and Freshman & Sophomore College Night on February 26, with a freshman visit to UCLA and a sophomore visit to USC this spring. With two dedicated college counselors, Pacifica partners closely with each student to thoughtfully craft their journey, helping them prepare not just for college admission, but for lives of purpose and impact.
