As they should. Dumb to pay 2x for a similar product, unless you are pretty rich and can afford luxury items.

Only MAGA don't realize this. I've been posting about this on the hlb threads. He said this *before* the election. MAGA have selective hearing.


I’ll believe it when I see it. A close friend of my teen is hoping to attend college here and this is a major incentive. I hope, for his sake, that it comes to fruition. (and i am as anti-orange as they come)

Hard to argue MAGA isn’t listening to Trump but non-MAGA is.

all of the colleges are telling kids to come back early (before Jan 20)....they don't know how hard it will be to get kids back from certain spots (thinking middle east, africa, parts of asia).

Im not sure its so clear-cut.

Whether they commit might have a lot to do with how strong the US dollar is relative to the local currency.

and the fact that college admissions here for the top are like a lottery and opaque, and the lower ones are not worth the $$$$ for 4 years. In state flagship being an exception.

Do we think selective colleges will admit more domestic students this year given the hoopla over international visas and incoming Trump admin?

What other trends are you seeing? Besides more tests…

Which selective schools are using AI?
