Any surprises?
@roycroftmom Lehigh University
Haven’t looked in detail, but the 708 number is high (usually get to around 550 by end of May)…and doesn’t yet include the schools who have extended deposit dates. Also 694 say FA is still available, also a relatively high proportion.
Other surprises (IMO):
SCAD
Miami Oh
U Miami
College of Wooster
U Dayton
Fordham
RIT
Union
TCU
USD
One would have to check to see which schools/majors have availability, Frosh vs transfer openings, as well as FA and housing status.
Lehigh has openings only for transfers.
A few more looking for freshmen in the NE that surprise me:
Wheaton (MA)
Hobart and William-Smith (NY)
IN – Butler, Wabash, Earlham, Rose Hulman
NY – Fordham, Hobart William Smith, Union
PA – Lehigh
IL – Knox
WI – Lawrence, Marquette

Thanks @allyphoe!
So many good schools on these lists, additional schools will hit the list over the next six weeks or so. Of course, some may drop off in that time frame too, as they (hopefully) fill their classes.
University of Arizona
University of Nevada–Reno
University of Oklahoma
Univ. of minnesota-Morris
UNC–Asheville
Cornell College in Iowa (block plan = one course per short term like Colorado College)
Centre College (Kentucky)
SUNY-Geneseo
SUNY–Environmental Science & Forestry
Towson
Univ. of Northern Arizona
Lake Forest College (wealthy Chicago suburb on the northshore)
Susquehanna University
Ohio University
@Mwfan1921 The last two years, colleges have added themselves to the list as time went on, but not removed themselves. There might be one or two that were on in the first couple weeks but not there at the end. I would be enormously surprised if 2020 were different in that regard.
I work at a college who is on the list this year. I am NOT in Admissions (and I rather not say where for privacy reasons). From what I have heard we had a good deposit year - but would like to see it higher due to summer melt. This would have already been an issue with the new rules changes in Admissions (the ability to go after students who already committed somewhere else) but I think in the current climate even more of an issue. Might be the reason so many are on the list? Get as many deposits as you can to see what sticks in the Fall?
Do they have to have a certain amount of openings to be on the list? Do they ever publish what the acceptance rates are from this round? Wondering if any kids just forgoe the whole application craziness and just submit their apps from this list. Also wonder if it’s any easier to get in than it would be in the normal round. Also, they mention FA but do they tell you if they have merit money left?
Number of openings will vary. Some majors or schools could be closed. You would have to contact admissions to ask these questions, including the one about merit aid.
Some schools on this list never even closed apps, like U Alabama and Rutgers.
The number who apply and are accepted should be reflected on the common data set, published in the fall/winter.
Crazy list for sure. Thanks for posting. This is always interesting to me.
Nothing should be surprising in this type of admissions year
