No idea. I doubt they even know at this point.
I think Duke is finding itself in the same spot as schools like Michigan, but they are a month+ behind the curve.

Honestly, could mean smaller freshman admits all around if they have so many kids who deferred to next year.

It’s all so volatile, my guess is no plan any which way as of now.

Do you think he'd have picked Duke if he'd been accepted in April?
It’s very possible, would have required a revisit. Duke has attributes that his current school doesn’t (sports, weather, limited campus protests)
The campus protest is way overblown except maybe Columbia, wouldn’t decide based on that.
It’s an important factor for us, I’ll leave it at that.
Fair enough, just sharing mine is at one that probably would named on hot list and there was nothing this year. Absolutely do what’s best for you, congrats to your child.
Thank you. The campus was rocky this year but changes are in place that look promising.

“Us?” do you plan on going to college with him?
Oh absolutely… I’ve rented an Airbnb just of campus in case he needs mommy at any point.

Are you being snarky or is there a legit source for this? Didn’t have a kid this cycle, but sure makes you wonder with current state of affairs if they force some more triples to make up some loss!
Brown seems to have done that.
