My DC's best friend just got a call or text that they'll get a spot off the waitlist if they say yes. Went over to St. Louis past weekend to visit and although campus was nice, decided the town and location was not a fit at all. Direct quote was "I can't see myself living here for 4 years". So the friend passed on the spot. I doubt WashU would count this against their yield since they are doing the complicated dance of asking and waiting for a verbal yes before officially offering the spot. They must know the location can be a hard sell for some people.

Looking for the elusive families who will pay them 100k.

Washu still moving. Been moving since April.

Sounds like a lot of full pay private school students are getting off the waitlist if you can believe the stories.

Yes, heard about a Princeton WL acceptance for a friend's daughter. This week. Surprising.

Not accurate. Stanford's AO said class is full, higher than expected yield. They'll keep the waitlist open (just in case) but aren't making offers.

Stanford and MIT seem to be the most popular this year among the top schools.

Know of two Stanford committed kids that got off Harvard waitlist and switched. Anecdotal data is generally worthless at spotting trends.

Brown still moving.

Bucknell moving, word is yield below 30% again this year.

I dont even get this. I have 6 kids here right now who are not my own. Yeah, I know their names and what their plans are next year and even what they plan on studying. These kids walk in here and give me a hug when they come over. I know, you think it's all so crazy!
