Probably all OOS

Yes....the class IG page has had a few OOS students introducing themselves as recently coming off the WL. All OOS is my guess too.

Likely. Most universities, even public, get $$ support from International students. They need the full tuition to support FA for others.

I bet it moves all summer until they exhaust it. I can't imagine anyone accepting Tulane this late in the process.

TULANE

Tulane's waitlist is still moving

^ and everyone has high inflated GPAs nowadays…and the kids with high scores are applying to the same 20-25 colleges so they can only accept so many.

After being deferred with a 4.0/1570 my son just pulled his application to Michigan because he's like yeah, no thanks. A lot of his friends said no thanks to being on the waitlist too. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I don’t think it’s games. Yields are getting so unpredictable because kids are applying to 20+ schools (ridiculous) so the predictions are getting harder. And the flip side is there were years many schools over-enrolled, had kids in hotels, not enough housing because more than they expected said “yes”. I think from a school view it’s easier to fill more seats after than be over enrolled
