This is the pp of this post. I am shocked to hear about all the waitlists. 8 of dd's friends/classmates with stats basically the same as hers (maybe slightly higher/slightly lower) have been accepted.

In this day and age under 4.5 Wgpa is like a B student

That’s not true at all. It’s high school specific. My kid has a 4.0 UW, has taken every available AP/DE at his school but one and has a 4.3. Not all schools weight the same and some have limited AP options.

It’s only the crazy DCUM crowd who post.

Trust me, there at many that got rejected. Not everyone gets in.

56,000 applied and like 7,000 got in.

no, many more got in. 7,500 is the target class size. Not all accepted end up enrolling.

Exactly. To illustrate this further, if they have 56,000 applicants and 7,000 spots and an overall yield of 25% (totally making that number up), they need to accept 4 times the number of spots or 28,000 to fill the class. They always give the total number of applicants vs class size because it makes the school look super competitive, but it’s all about the yield.

We didn't fill out the FAFSA b/c we are full pay. Do they only offer merit if you fill it out. Is it too late? We didn't want to fill it out w/o knowing the decision. This isn't DC's top choice right now, but it's a maybe option.

Not sure. The award came tonight as well. We are OOS (different poster) and DC was only offered $3k a year.

Acceptance letter said something like 57,500 applications for 7,500 spots

But many, many more than 7500 got accepted.

Accepted!

....now how to figure out how to pay for it. Tuition seemed to have increased (thinking with the federal cuts may have something to do with it?).

And we hit that spot where we make too much to receive aid, but paying for college will bankrupt us. Sigh

Tuition rates were already set before the new administration. However, I would not be surprised to see bigger increases in future years because of the federal funding reductions. So if stretching for the first year, it's only going to get harder.

If you are in state, you’re not getting merit.
