451 colleges now on the "still have openings" list.

Is you kid unhappy with their college choices? Look at this list - many colleges are still looking for students to start in the fall.

[quote]For most private colleges (excluding the highly selective Ivies, Amherst, Williams and Swarthmore Colleges, and similar institutions) the admissions season is still going strong. [b]Whether or not they are on the NACAC list, they are still admitting students and trying to get more students to apply. In part, this is because of changes in the NACAC rules that previously barred the recruitment of students who had already accepted an offer. But it's primarily (they say) because of the pandemic. For most of these colleges, the class of freshmen that enrolled last fall was disappointing in its size.[/b]

Many colleges aren't talking publicly about their next freshman class. Beloit, Coe, Hartwick and Muhlenberg Colleges are among the colleges that either refused to comment on numbers or didn't respond to requests for information.

Goucher College has 286 freshmen confirmed (with a deposit) for the fall, according to Jonathan Lindsay, vice president for enrollment management. The goal was 300, and Goucher extended the date by which students could reply until tomorrow.

Most of these colleges say (privately in some cases) that they will continue to accept and review applications, and that waiting lists (with some exceptions) aren't filling their classes. Most of these colleges aren't competitive in admissions, so they admit students who are qualified (and, in some cases, who can afford the college).[/quote]
