Personally I think pre-med with WashU full pay is fine, but not with Emory full pay. But anything other than pre-med is not okay with either full pay.

Why not Emory? It seems strong in a major metro area with hospital right on campus, CDC, research available etc.? It seems very strong with pre-law, pre-med, strong undergrad business school for the region.

it's not as good a school. Generally bad at stem.

Too bad the general public doesn't agree, considering WashU's decline in apps. Mind you, Emory has the best nursing program in America and arguably the world, but premed wouldn't be up to par? Really?

Emory mom at it again, unnecessarily taking shots at WashU in a discussion that has nothing to do with WashU. You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

I know a community college that produces the best plumbers. Their engineering program must be on par with MIT?

Bumping this.

Someone here posted recently that their kid got off of the NU waitlist (after committing to UMichigan). Haven't hear anything further yet. If your kid was waitlisted at both of these schools, hopefully they have other good options?

Thanks. She committed to a great college. But, she will pick NU or Penn if she gets off the waitlist.

Wishing all the best to you. I have a DD going to Northwestern and it looks to me based on IG that some new folks are getting in off the waitlist, but it's hard to tell.

I’ve read WL are generally moving slower and later for most schools this year. My kid is still hanging on to 2 HPYSM WL, after both had several cuts. Keeping the dream alive- lol! We do know 2 kids that got off in July and August last year.

Yeah, tell that to the 50 kids who got into Duke last year in August(!) I also know someone who, in a prior year, got into Yale on June 20.

Duke was a very unique situation last year. They enlarged the class by 50 kids in August. It wasn't the typical situation of replacing kids who declined.

False.

AOs at several schools (T20/Ivies/20s) have stated they have not closed yet. Some schools have done WL cuts while keeping others on it as well. It’s different behavior than a few years ago. One told us they won’t close until August.

Yes. Lower #s and more targeted. Less waves.

Last year the visa issues had a big impact.

It's over. Only deniers hanging on. On to class of 2031.

post on reddit indicating some on Georgia Tech's waitlist are getting emails that the class is full.
