[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not an attractive campus, even with the Blue Goose gone. [/quote]

I like the school but frankly we are about to see huge consolidation of schools.

A lot of non-selective colleges are going to close and there is really no stopping it.

I am hoping that more selective schools will pick up some campuses and run a second tier school for their waitlist and allow them top transfer to their main campus after their freshman year or something like that.

Kind of like UVA does with UVA wise.[/quote]

I see no downside to this.  We keep hearing that there are "more qualified applicants than we can admit, sorry you're rejected".  Then why not find a place for these students at these private, selective colleges?  Let them prove it in an auxiliary campus they can do the work, then let them in.  Emory created a whole campus for this reason, Northeastern has their NU.in. USC has their Trojan Transfer.  But many more state universities do it too, like the Univ. of California schools, UConn has their branch campuses, Penn State has their branches and allows transfers in.  Michigan has guaranteed pathways.  Univ Florida uses Santa Fe Community College.[/quote]
Emory didn't create a whole campus. It's a common misconception on this forum. That is just emory college-the literal origin of the institution and the liberal arts college the school started as. Most other schools like Duke (who had trinity college) just didn't keep theirs.[/quote]
