[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid for once was just admitted to an Ivy today. very weird, 1 week after Ivy day. we dont know what happened, but it did.. He didnt think he had a chance.

He needs more than 30 days to decide….I dont care if you dont like it or dont understand why. But it is what it is. [/quote]
An Ivy began pulling from the WL *today*, April 4? That's the interesting part of your post. That's unusual. (If people were to guess, they might guess Columbia, but that might not be correct. Curious which one it was.

On your kid's indecision, yes he needs some time to decide. Are they giving you until May 1? That should be more than enough time for your kid to visit and figure it out, assuming you know the financial aid situation.

Maybe your kid is shocked, and maybe he needs to visit and I get that, and maybe your kid is freaked out by this, which I also get, but making a rational decision should not actually take 30 days. It could take a weekend.

My kid is on waitlists (not for Ivies) and is not sure they will be able to make a fast decision, but it's all what you put into it.
