City schools are in... mostly older parents prefer schools in the woods/suburbia

Lehigh in particular had a bad year - went to wait list - and it may have to do with the hardcore administration at Lehigh under President Simon.

Going to waitlist doesn't necessarily mean they had a bad year--just they got their yield calculation wrong and didn't want to take a chance on admitting too many students. Better to look at number of applications and percent enrolled of that to calculate if they had a good/bad year rather than whether they went to waitlist or not. Many schools much prefer to use their waitlist well than risk overenrollment.

Not Virginia Tech.
