  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. University School's own list (The 2026 College Matriculation List), enrolled: The Ohio State University (9), Miami University - Oxford (6), Michigan (4), Auburn (3), Denison (3). Feeder standing: #3 Denison, #5 Ohio State University (Columbus), #7 Miami University (Oxford, Ohio).
  • Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Composed from this page's data — every claim is backed by a number in the sections below.
