No regrets (although that would have been a slam dunk if it came in March).

CNU? What's that? And did you take the spot?

Christopher Newport?

CNU is Christopher Newport University. We did NOT take the spot. Went with a medium-sized Jesuit school that offered an aid package similar to the price of CNU for us (in state).

Interesting. My DC was in the same situation and made the same choice (no to CNU, yes to medium-sized Jesuit with final bill comparable to in-state). They are very excited.

Were these merit scholarships? Can you all recommend the Jesuit school?

There's no real difference between post grad opportunities between a UVA and Duke grad. Literally perceived the same

A few years ago, F & M tried to get my kid to commit before they took her off the list (like they were going to make the offer official if she confirmed in advance that she would accept). We weren’t ready for that since we had not been there for more than a year before and she had accepted elsewhere. It felt like a way to fudge their yield numbers.

My daughter declined.

I hate when schools play these games. F&M is not the only one. You can thank USNWR.

Only anecdotal. A classmate of my child just announced on Friday they were attending, and my son is *pretty sure* they came off the waitlist.

Mine got into Duke as well. Chose UVa Echols instead. We are in-state. Practical kid. We don’t qualify for aid. 529 will be saved for grad school with remaining up to 35k rolled into kid’s IRA. UVa checks off all the boxes.

Duke is well worth it if you can swing it

Duke is now $89 a year. UVA College of Arts & Sciences in-state is $38. Thats a delta of $51 in after-tax dollars, meaning you have to go out and make $80 to pay the delta. $80k x 4 = $320k extra for Duke. Instead, go to UVA and bank the difference and let it compound and pay for grad school. Thats what we did so can now afford a top law school at an obscene $110k a year.

THIS X Million

A lot of kids haven't announced yet. I wouldn't assume late announcements are due to WL movement.

My own kid is still choosing between 4 options (whittled to 4).

Of course, but this specific kid my son believes was on the WL.
