Will there be fewer applicants to Harvard, Penn, MIT next year?

Magill responded that it was a "context-dependent decision."

"It's a context-dependent decision -- that's your testimony today? Stefanik countered. "Calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the context?"

Hours later, amid bipartisan backlash, including from prominent Democrats, Magill apologized for her response in a video posted on the university's website.

She is on the way out.

Definitely not for MIT.

I think some students and families will reconsider Penn. Many actually. This has been a disaster for Penn.

Harvard gets the brass ring students. It's been like that for a while. The goal is Harvard. That's all that matters. The nuances of genocide is not going to dissuade them. There are tons of amoral high stats well-connected kids who will take that apex degree.

No fewer applicants, but probably fewer donations, especially big ones. I expect it to really hit Penn - they have a very high percent of Jewish alumni.

I think it might increase applications.
More kids will be tempted to give these schools a shot as they will think there might be a reduction in applications so might as well apply. At the end of the day, everyone wants to be at an ivy if they can get in

Sadly no. People will still fall all over themselves to send their kids there. Hopefully the major donors who are walking will have a bigger impact.

Yes of course

For every Jewish kid that wavers about Penn, there are about 5 Asian kids with identical stats dying to get in

Jews aren’t going to turn down Penn for Alabama

Lol come on now. Tell some more jokes OP!

The reality is that 99% of applicants aren't tracking on this issue at all. Applications will be up slightly because of the SCOTUS ruling.

They go to Michigan instead

Yep. There are plenty high stat Asian kids who will continue to apply to these schools.

Jews may not turn down Penn for Alabama but they may turn down Penn for Wash U, Emory, SMU
