Waitlist movement in mid-July

[Anonymous]

Any recent movement on Georgia Tech waitlist?

Northeastern (via Oakland) admit from WL yesterday

Will this have a domino effect with spots opening in “lower” rated schools?

Looking at Pomona's waitlist....I called and the admissions office stated they "do not anticipate movement but list is not yet closed"....sigh. DC trying not to get hopes up and is very happy with current option.

Trump won’t let foreigners attend school here anymore. Spots opened.

Finally - let American smart kids fill American universities. 30% international at Harvard is ridiculous.

There are degrees of intelligence. An average or above average intelligent American student has no business taking the spot of a brilliant foreign student who aced the SATs in a SECOND language and will likely excel at school and life and stay in the US and contribute to science, technology, medicine, the arts….Why is it hard for people to understand that this policy hurts America in the long run?! Steve Jobs’ dad was an immigrant… Obama’s dad was an immigrant… Elon Musk is an immigrant etc.
When I want a car, I don’t buy an American one because imo German cars are superior. Should we ban imports of superior goods next?

From a friend who manages data for a college: they are adding an admissions code so they can track all the students who are having to defer due to visa issues.

Which might mean even less seats for Americans next cycle…

You are assuming these kids would still want to come to America for four years.

Wouldn't it mean less seats for new international students. Why do you think they would come from Americans? I have trouble believing schools would double the percentage of internationals.

Agreed, especially in light of the policies of the current administration.

Is there any hope for the Yale waitlist?

Georgetown just admitted a friend’s kid off their waitlist this week.
