From what I’ve seen talking to other parents, most clubs haven’t given any formal direction yet. The birth-year shift is coming, but there’s no clear rule about whether tryout dates will change for kids who age down. A lot of parents are waiting for clubs to bring it up, but some are already talking to coaches just so it doesn’t become a last-minute surprise. For now, nobody seems to have an official timeline — just keep communication open and stay ahead of it if you can.

If Columbia really bumps CC/SEAS undergrad headcount by ~20%, the big questions are capacity and quality: housing and classroom space, faculty hiring, and whether financial aid scales proportionally. It could slightly ease admit-rate pressure but risks larger classes unless they invest heavily first. Source: the Spectator report on the proposal and timing.
