We received the financial aid offer today and Amherst is 5k more a year than Smith.Unless that changes we will probably reject their offer:(

I’m sure you are correct. Physics is intended major-

Let Amherst know Smith is offering a stronger aid package. There is a decent chance Amherst will be willing to match.

We are going to try. The tuition at Smith is already so expensive & I can’t squeeze anymore outđŸ˜©

Congratulations!! I’m a waitlisted international student. Do you think they’ll still send acceptances or have they declared that they have filled all the spots?

They haven’t said anything yet about their waitlist being full. I know there is a spot open as of last night though
my daughter did not accept her spot. It was such a hard decision!! Good luck;)

That’s not how it works. One turning down a spot doesn’t automatically open a spot as more are accepted than will attend.

48

They over accept assuming a certain number will not enroll. The goal is to get that number right and not become over enrolled.

Since the pandemic and TO policies took effect yield predictions became a lot less reliable with top schools being over enrolled and WLs rarely moving.
