How are Vanderbilt and Davidson trending up? They are already up there.

Vandy more selective than almost all ivies this year.

Davidson RD admit rate this year mind-boggling.

Where did you see the Davidson admit stats for this year?

I think BU has great potential and is undervalued.

Isn't BU something like $100k a year to attend? What is your definition of undervalued?

Read the subject. Duh.

Obviously not referring to cost. Most privates are in the $90k range.

Solid T50 school.

Run the NPC like any other school before applying. 11% acceptance rate, so no guarantees - even for high stats kids.

Yes, but for high stat kids that are full pay it’s not up and trending because of cost.

It's up and trending because everyone can't get into HYPS and the private T25s, which costs just as much.

Plus.....Boston. 🙂

More Europe - UCL, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Bocconi

Privates:
Elon
U Miami
College of Charleston

This tracks with my kids' classes.

And Pitt, which is state-supported, remains hot.

Penn State is huge now in our area (top public in PA). Top stat kids picking it over higher ranked schools. At University Park this year alone (NOT the branch campuses), there were 120,000 applicants for 9500 spots. You can't look at Penn State's overall numbers because the branch campuses skew it. University Park is getting hard to get into as a freshman now.

No way. Intelligent people from the blue states (where the majority of intelligent people reside) will not be sending their smart kids to the south. If anything, these schools will decline.

Nothing is going to trend up. The population is going to plummet for that age group, so schools are going to scramble to get kids. It will be a buyer's market

This is absolutely true. The birth rates after 2007 decline and continue to do so. 2007 was a baby boom year.

Vanderbilt and Davidson are very different from the publics mentioned. Students from blue states have been attending these schools for years.

I'm always curious about families and students who would refuse a spot at Duke, Vanderbilt, Davidson, UVA, or UNC-Chapel Hill because they are in the South, but will happily go to Dartmouth, Cornell or a SLAC in the midwest and spend four years surrounded by a sea of red Trump voters. I'd take a blue town like Nashville or Chapel Hill in a heartbeat over some depressing town in New England and the Midwest where every angry, poorly educated local voted for Trump.

Slowly decline over a decade to get back to 2012 numbers. Then add in international students. There won’t be a bust for the T100.

You spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff and you still got most of it wrong? Maybe you’re the moron.

More selective? Without even looking this up, I have a feeling that the average applicant to Vanderbilt is pretty different than the avg applicant to Yale. I say this as a parent of a kid who would have been a solid contender for Vanderbilt (didn’t apply) but wouldn’t have had a snowball’s chance at Yale. From my kids’ mcps public high school, very smart and accomplished but not “off the charts” kids get into Vanderbilt (akin to those going to UVA)- versus the Yale admits are rare and special.
