Congratulations for W and M.
Standford.
Weāre in the USC rejection group too. No more decisions here. But weāve already committed and USC wasnāt going to change that anyway. I grew up hating USC and that can now continue unabated.
And thankfully, right now, Gonzaga is handing their derriĆØres to them.
Looking forward to watching everyone else post.

Aw, thatās too bad that Tufts was one he really wanted. My S is delayed at his meet so I have at least another hour to wait for their rejection. 
We got into UMass Amherst too but itās not a favorite right nowā¦beautiful area to visit though.

Thanks for the laughs. We have a similar situation at home. DH is so well meaning, but the only thing he remembers from the campus visits (done before Covid) is usually the food. He knows Iām top of everything, and he is generally neutral about the hype around college rankings and brands.

Thanks. Will see what next week brings as he has ivies, Stanford and Duke. Seriously considering Cal and Northwestern before he got USC and Rice, He already ruled out other UCās, Michigan, GT, UW. He is looking to double major math and CS and is a bit ahead on both those for college prep. Since we are in state and close to Cal, it will boil down to what the extra $$$ buy us.

I saw some folks wondering about Umass Amherst and WPI. Here in the Boston area they are considered very respectable for CS. The kids usually get good job opportunities.

I grew up hating USC too. My boys did not apply. Did your DD commit to Cal Poly? Mine are about to do it.

Admitted at Rice today, that was a school we really liked for a variety of reasons (size, culture, cost, academics).
Accepted: Rice, CMU, Berkley, UCLA, Michigan
Rejected: Cal Tech, MIT
WL: Chicago
Pending: Duke, Penn, Harvard
Would take Rice over anything but Duke and Harvard (or Chicago). Seeing some light at the end of this tunnel.

Awesome news on the tuition! S21 pretty excited about G Town. Which college did your D apply to?
Is the campus gated and locked, or can the public access? We are hoping for a spring visitā even if it to just walk around the campus.
I grew up hating USC with a passion. And over the years, Iāve had the opportunity to work with a few USC grads. 
I canāt stand Tommy Trojan and I canāt stand āFight on.ā Iād be willing to hold my nose for 4 years, if either D was admitted and wanted to go. Neither was admitted and so I thank the āGreat Powers That Beā that I donāt have to write a check to that university. 
Yes, D committed to SLO a week or two ago.

D21 admitted to USC Viterbi today. So sorry to all the kids with denials. This has been a tough year, for sure. I think this helped take the sting out of my Dās GTech waitlist decision. Now she needs to decide.

She applied 35 (seriously!) colleges, a huge list and ended up with a lot of waitlists. Acceptances so far are UMich, UVA, UT Austin, Georgetown and other smaller schools.
