NP. Agreed, however the use of "due" isn't really appropriate unless there's a legal standard that you're trying to evidence compliance with (e.g., an underwriter in a securities offering where you need to prove that you've met a specific legal standard of care to have a statutory defense to liability). So in the context it's being used here, it really is a trite phrase.

For both the Feb 23 and March 2nd schools?


The Catholic schools (2/22) have made their decisions. The Privates (3/2) still have a little work to do, such as determining how many to accept to get the correct yield or between a few remaining candidates.

Would you please explain the use of this trite expression in this context?

Let's not forget that if the school is GDS, it also includes several members of the admissions department at Harvard.

(Kidding.)

Have private school admissions committees already met and make decisions?

Why did a question mark come up? I meant to put in a laughing face...

Admissions Director, several other members of admissions department, division heads, long time faculty members, board members, student body president, neighbors of the school, frequent DCUM posters, Obama, etc. are just a few of the people who are on admissions committees usually.

I’m curious who actually makes these admissions decisions? Particularly at the more well known schools in DC? It seems like such a big process especially if vetted through many people.
