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.
WASP over Penn for this kind of kid any day…

Gosh I hope so. My kid started this process on 10 waitlists.
Off one Ivy and Michigan plus two top10 liberal arts colleges so far. waiting for dream Ivy.

What kind of world do people live in when their network is a bunch of kids getting off of college waitlists? I couldn’t tell you where any of my kids friends even applied to college. You guys really need to lighten up.

Have read that Brown purposefully under-admitted this cycle with a plan to shape the rest of the class through waitlist. That may explain some of the movement.
That's absolutely what Brown would say.
"I meant to do that!"

Does anybody know if UVA still expects to resolve waitlist status by this weekend? Or does the open-ended update on 06/10 mean it'll stretch into the summer?
