Final decision thread

[Anonymous]

I’d love to see people post their kid’s top 2-5 choices they were admitted and what thoughts they used to select their final choice. I will post my kid’s info down thread.

I’ll post for my own college back in the 90s as an example.

Example:
Admitted to Pomona, William and Mary and UMD-CP.

Visited all three. Pomona was really far and I didn’t really click with the other girls. UMD seemed too big and I didn’t want huge classes. Attended W&M.

[Anonymous]

Admitted to UVA, Northeastern, UF, U Miami, UMD, McGill, VATech, UVM, Pitt, MSU

Waiting on reaches (a few ivy)

visited most of them

leaning UVA (we're OOS, so not about the money)

Can we add major or anticipated major?
thanks!

UF is pretty generous with money for high stat OOS kids; they also have a deal where if you have a grandparent in FL, you can qualify for in-state tuition

You need to give it a rest.

why are people so concerned about what other kids do?

Find a hobby, feed the homeless, pick up trash on the highway do something to help society.

+1. The preoccupation with what other kids are doing is puzzling, pathetic and self defeating. Look at the college hate threads to see how much this adversely affects grown adults.

You're pathetic. Some people are interested in colleges you don't approve of, evidently.

OP again: I don’t care about stats or all acceptances. I wanted to know HOW kids decided where to go from the 2-5 schools they were admitted to, My DD is getting stuck on selectivity rather than fit so I was curious how other kids were deciding. This isn’t about results. It’s about making a final choice.
