[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a probable top choice (currently deferred) it's a large state school.

Besides a few kids already in, there are probably 20 others waiting to hear.  Having 10 other kids from the school all together and dealing with rush etc doesn't seem super appealing.

Curious if anyone pivoted based on this.[/quote]

What does this have to do with rush?[/quote]
dp.. guessing that they think they will see the same HS kids at rush, and greek orgs are not very big.  So, it would truly be like HS 2.0 if the greek org is full of the same HS kids.  And if they had social issues with those other kids, then that could be an issue.

But, I'm thinking those orgs don't have a whole lot of kids from the same HS.  [/quote]

This was my DD's issue with a couple schools she considered. They were generally smaller schools so it's not like a 30K+ university where you'd have to try to stay connected to HS friends. At these two schools (one LAC, one midsize) kids she knew from HS would be in the band with her and she really wanted a completely fresh start. These schools were also at the top of our budget and weren't her favorite in the major program so it was just one more reason to take them off the list. If they'd had a fabulous program for her major and were among the lower cost choices I'd have wanted her to give a lot more thought to a pretty trivial reason IMO. These were not kids she had any big issues with.[/quote]
