Emory just posted 57 QuestBridge. Maybe they hit the tape before the 15th?

Questbrudge matches come out today for every school, and that is a ton for Emory, which typically takes a large number.

Ooh. That's a nice place to be in. A four year ROTC scholarship is like being a recruited athlete in a major sport. There's only about 600 students that get that scholarship. And this poster knows very well what it takes to get one. I would not worry too much. If the battalion commander is championing this app, it should work.

I have the kid waiting on a WASP - Swarthmore - which is, in fact, very much NOT White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Anyone else's kid anxious and adding more schools to their list this week?

+1 BC and Georgetown too.

Like 12-22 admits

Still day-drinking and waiting.

It sounds like sour grapes/copium, but I think DC's chosen school is a much better match than their ED school, and I think DC is more confident because DC had the opportunity to compare that school with others through admitted student weekends etc.

Anyhow, if your DC gets in ED, that's wonderful and will save you a lot of time and energy this spring! But, if not, don't fret and please don't feel the need to panic-apply in ED2!

Same. We panicked after deferral early.

Ended up in 15 out of 16 RD and at an Ivy. The early school deferral was lower ranked.
