College destinations
Where PTCA students get accepted
After 15+ years of helping over 500 students, I've learned families prefer either in-state tuition or a campus within 800 miles of home. Students who leave the Northwest typically pursue a specific major or city, a smaller STEM-focused culture, scholarship value, proximity to extended family, prestige, and sunshine.
