[/url] Harvard plans to borrow 750 million from Wall Street. Man, if even Harvard is in financial trouble, what about other T20s and top SLACs? Next cycle will be a good time for DMC kids who are willing to ED and full pay? |

| Maybe they will wise-up and auction off all the slots to the highest bidder. |

| We were hoping for full pay to be an asset in RD. Didn't work out that way for my high stats kid, who was admitted to no targets or reaches. Now we are hoping full pay is an asset for the waitlists. |

| Only marginally due to lower number of graduates next year since the vast majority of ED applicants are full pay. Will definitely be an edge in RD, how big maybe 5-10%. |

| Depends on stock market. If it is -20% from today sure. |

Worked for us we think. Into 4 T20 this cycle. Test optional too. |

| Worked for us too. DD was TO and got into 1 top 15 and 3 other top 30 schools. GPA was high but essays and ECs were middling at best. |
