Yeah, Denison's deadline is Nov 15 |
They did this last year too. They are doing it afterwards because that is when the have the a final count of the ones at deadline. They want more. |
Case Western really is something. Wait until they send your kid a ton of emails about how great they are AFTER they apply and before decisions are issued. |
Wow, so desperate! Next few years are going to be tough for colleges not at the top of the food chain. |
Because of the demographic cliff, or other reasons? |
If this brings in a few hundred more applications it can tilt the selectivity index. That's why. |
Demographics are part of it, but school didn’t hit its numbers. No need to send an email to kids that applied on time. Parents need to understand, colleges are first and foremost businesses. Your kid is just a number. |
Any other schools with extended deadlines? |
100%. Case Western one of those schools desperate to hang onto whatever ranking they have. They just want more applications is all. $$$$$ |
But they waived the Application Fee.. so, no $$$$ |
I'm the one who posted the CWRU letter. There was no fee waiver. Had there been, I probably would have told my kid to apply. |
This is what we got. We didn't apply EA due to some goof up. |
Yes, Cornell did it 3 years back and 2 years back when my kids were applying. |
Agree on #2 They probably also have data on the total number of applications started in common app and are close to completion. Kid’s procrastinate, and if they had 10 applications in progress on 10/31, but only managed to finish 5 by 11/1, then this gives them the opportunity to finish some of the other 5. Besides making numbers look better, from the school’s point of view it’s better to see as many applications as early as possible to have a better sense of the overall application pool. |
This. They can quickly tell if certain areas of the pool are lower than expected (geographic, academic, whatever) and keep the application open for those groups. |
