[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate these offers.  my kid got several last year. the kids are trying to take APs, find a   roommate, finish high school (which at our school included a 20 page paper and a full week of cumulative exams--so a lot of work until the very end) and then it's like "you have 48 hours to decide on a  new school you may or may not have ever visited."  And before you say "why did your kid apply to schools they didn't visit?"  Well, it wasn't in the budget to fly to a dozen different cities, including many with 5% chance of admission.  [/quote]

It's 100% yield protection, OP. If she says yes, she'll get an offer. If she says no or doesn't respond, they will go to someone else. Heaven forbid another person actually turn down this school, although obviously, they are dealing with egg on their face because their projected yield didn't work out so well this year. So embarrassing for them.[/quote]

Thanks.  Fingers crossed.  I didn't think this was a school that cared much about its yield, as opposed to Colby (where she is currently committed).[/quote]

Congrats to your kid. Would you consider sharing the name of the school at a later time?[/quote]

I absolutely will once things are settled, which hopefully will be tomorrow. [/quote]
