Wrong. They’re not over enrolling, this is planned growth for the hottest SEC flagship second to only UGA in popularity.

Syracuse is private and 90k COA. SC is public and max 58k COA. Plus SC’s applications are up exponentially relative to Syracuse.

They are not in the same boat; SC won’t be scrambling for enrollment.

Does he have a preference between UGA and SC?


UGA 1000%.


Can you share why? DD is a junior and will tour both this spring. I know UGA is higher ranked.

Will deferred kids “fall in love” with other acceptances and “reject” the Gamecocks?


No. The SEC flagships are in vogue. Cold weather private schools are not. SC is more popular than the colleges you mentioned.
