More will be added since all the deadlines have been pushed back, but the list has been posted: https://www.nacacnet.org/college-openings-update/

Sewanee, Wooster, St. John’s in Annapolis are all on this list. This furthers my belief that many LACs will have problems in the future, even good ones. |
I think Mason is rolling admissions, no? |
No |
Sorry yes |
This is not an indication of anything new. For decades, there has always been a Space Available List published. |
yes. The St Marys should all band together and just create one; same for St Johns. |
Curious…do you have to do a complete application for these schools if you apply now? |
That's quite a leap. |
Op clearly you have a narrative you are trying to advance. We see through it. |
I was happy to see several colleges on this list for my current junior who has a below-average GPA by DCUM standards (3.3). Works hard but not in the running for a top college. My question about this list is whether those schools accept most students during the regular round. I am talking about the schools on that list that have a 60-80% acceptance rate. How do those schools reject 20-40% of applicants if they then have spots left in May? There are good schools on this list: St. Joe's, Ithaca, Sewanee, NAU, ASU. Those are schools that kids can go to and get a solid education and name recognition of sorts. What I am hoping is that it means by DC has a good chance of getting into these types of schools during the regular admissions process if they end up still having spots in May of Senior year. TIA! |
What are you talking about? It's just a heads up that some colleges are still open for applications. |
I don't think anyone stated otherwise. In fact, the use of 2024 makes it clear that they know this is this year's version of a list that comes out every year. |
I don’t think the OP was the anti-SLAC poster. That person seems to pop up everywhere. |
I’m sure you DC would be a very good candidate for these schools. They are probably outright rejecting kids who are truly not a good fit for their institution, such as having a C or D average, who didn’t write a coherent admissions essay, or who never took a math class beyond Algebra. |
