[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many schools are in limbo because they aren't sure if their international students will get their visas this year? Or if international students will withdraw because of the new regulations on their privacy?[/quote]

Many. That's why so many waitlists are still active. Some international students are on the fence about coming, and may decide late. Others won't be able to get their visas processed.[/quote]
Even if visas are processed, I could see international students pulling out because of the political situation. There’s a story going viral of a tourist from the Netherlands being detained and harassed because he had a meme of JD Vance saved somewhere on his phone. I could see parents being nervous about sending their kids here if a stupid meme gets you in trouble. [/quote]

But are kids really going to pull out of HPY, etc?  I really doubt they'll do it unless they feel their lives are at risk. Deadlines for requesting gap years have passed.

I bet universities are keeping waitlists open in case some sort of NEW visa game is playing by the Trump administration between now and August. 
Their enrollments are set right now but they have no way of knowing what new trick might be coming down the pike. 
Unfortunately all the waitlisted kids are along for the ride and don't get the usual closure of "waitlist is now officially closed" that is given in other years. [/quote]
