Is Chinese enrollment down significantly? Are all the Chinese restaurants on campus struggling? Is it now easier to get in if you're in-state?

Previous Message My kid got denied by much worse schools than the best one he got into and ultimately enrolled in (which was, luckily for him, his reach school). Previous Message https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-great-student-swap/ I’ll give you an example that is crazy. Had lunch with a friend who told me her daughter’s best friend from high school (in Atlanta) was denied admission at UGA and is going to Georgetown. So someone who could get into a prestigious private school like Georgetown could not get into the University of Georgia as an in-state candidate.

“The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the only flagship that has both a majority of in-state students (82 percent) and has not increased its out of state student share during our sample time frame. The University of Texas at Austin’s share of in-state students fell from 91 to 89 percent, but retains one the highest shares of in-state students of any flagship. As I detail, both universities are subject to state requirements that have effectively minimized the Great Student Swap.” Previous Message of their freshman class from in state, so not going on at all places necessarily.
