Yes, shows some are deciding freezing in cold artic winds for most of the year in an overpriced school probably doesn't make a lot of sense for them and decide to go elsewhere.

Good, maybe there's a chance for my kid on the waitlist.

Yes we know several off Brown and Vanderbilt too. Brown is really moving.

Penn State just emailed my kid. He was accepted EA and forgot to decline in the portal.

Where'd you go?

You haven't accepted your offer to Penn State University Park.

We know you have the skills to make a HUGE impact alongside Penn State's expert faculty, innovative classmates, and the largest alumni network in the world. It’s not too late!

The foreign/International students don’t want to be part of this crazy right now and they are at all the schools in the nation. They fund 1/3 of the UCal system, most of the FA at Univ Arizona and other public universities. This affects all the schools.

My kid's friend was heading to UCLA... and then got off the waitlist for Vanderbilt... and then got off the waitlist for Brown. So, crazy year.

My DS just got admitted from UVA waitlist this week.

In state or out? Public or private?

The fact that Northwestern is still moving this late in June - is interesting.

Congrats!

Thanks - DC is pushing back some, was really excited about going to a LAC (WASP), but I feel like..it's PENN

Such a different experience for 4 years. Curious what major? I would want my kid to go to Penn, but I think it could be a disaster for a kid that really wanted that small, intellectual LAC feel.

Humanities major - possibly history, maybe english. Wanted Ivy (Yale) from the get-go, applied to several other Ivies as well, so I feel like it's not a LAC-or-bust situation, but rather that DC got excited about the LAC when it was clearly the best option. But now it may not be the best option....

Williams or Amherst vs Penn?

What is the goal? Law school or consulting? What is your kids personality? Do they want urban? I truthfully would go with Williams or Amherst and I was a humanities major who went to law school at a T10.

Hope you won't pressure them if they want the LAC experience. Also, speaking of pressure, have heard that Penn is intense and high pressure.
