My student didn’t apply to UVA, but I appreciate this level of transparency.

Are these mostly in-state kids declining?

My kid declined, but pretty much all of his friends are headed there.

Brown accepted 300 more kids in RD this year than last.


I'd expect limited transfer opps into this class then. Brown admitted a bunch of transfers in late fall/early winter, and another round comes out this week or next to fill out that class.

Much much slower than 2024.

DC has gotten off of 3 wait lists since April 30/ May 1. All of them are schools mentioned on this thread. I'm really surprised, as this was not the case at all with DC1 five years ago and DC2 three years ago.

We are rethinking the deposit put down last week and plan to visit at least one of these other schools.


What schools?

No, last year they admitted 150 fewer kids than the year before from ED and RD. Then they started immediately pulling from the waitlist and had to go to about 300 deep to fill them. It was a weird but seemingly purposeful strategy.
