Colleges account for yield in their number of acceptances, so it doesnât mean much actually.
It does when colleges consider the pool from your school and you are compared to others. Some do. Northeastern, for example, said that in their visit that they do compare you to those who applied from your current class

Well, there is a very small likelihood that the people in this forum happen to attend the same school as you, and are in the same pool.
If someone is 100% sure they are not attending and cannot afford it or something even after appealing, then definitely withdraw. But a lot of people like to look at their options and they may change their minds. They paid the same application fee as you and went through the application process, so they donât âoweâ you anything. So many people go on here and spout the narrative that not declining an acceptance right away even when youâre unsure is stealing a spot from someone else. Not the case. Take your time and evaluate your options, you donât owe anyone anything.

Donât misunderstand me. I said if you know you arenât going to attend. And everyone is in a pool with their current classmates. It doesnât just apply to my school. My daughter has withdrawn those she canât afford, and I hope it helps someone else.

Architecture at UM is top notch ⊠congratulations.
Daughter was accepted but we are waiting on a couple more schools to see who has the best package for her. However, Miami is in the top three now. Is there an âHonors Dormâ for Miami? I thought so but now donât see it on their housing page. Anyone know?

I dont think so - i could be wrong
I did Miami summer scholars and the admissions rep told us if you donât have at the upper end of the test average donât submit it. So not really an accurate take.

Does anyone know where/who we should send our letter of continued interest too besides the counselor in the portal?

There is no Honors Dorm. Freshman housing will be tight next year as theyâre knocking down one of the towers.

Housing is currently an issue right now. Many students living in local hotels. Miami Hurrican news article 2 days ago: ââŠThis lack of housing for students will continue to be an issue until the opening of Centennial Village in 2025.â
Thank you for the reference to this article. I really donât like the sounds of this housing shortage. It sounds like Lakeside and University Village are great options for rising Sophomores and other returning students but they are completely sold out. It sounds like this will create a shortage for first year students now. I donât feel good about the potential of sending my son away to college and not living on campus.
