It seems that quite a few chose Stanford over Harvard this year.


At our private someone chose Wharton over Harvard and Princeton over Harvard.

Also it moved this week at our non-DMV private.

Yes, my DD's BF just got off WL today for VT OOS. VT is his #1 for Engineering...
but family now questioning the OOS tuition as compared to his committed to school. I feel sad for him, he's such a great, nice kid, super smart, applied EA, has great stats, hard worker, all the good stuff...it's just a shame college tuition these day...

Penn hadn’t moved as of yesterday.
Northwestern has been moving for weeks. It may be done and over.


Got it. Sounds like no hope for DD for NU then.

We waited until DS had an updated portal with offer letter. Initial contact was a phone call/verbal offer.

He's surprised he got off. GPA: 3.6/SAT: 1510, typical ECs.


What major?
