Thanks, Bonanza, for the detailed and thoughtful reply. Can I ask, are you a Brandeis student or parent? You don’t say, and I’d be very interested to know.

As to all schools being in the same fix, I’ve been talking to several of the schools my D. has been admitted to, and I don’t think that’s entirely so. The notable example is Bates: no staff layoffs, no hiring freeze, no reduction or halt of faculty hires, no planned increase in admits and no tripled-up doubles.

Again, the travails of Brandeis don’t necessarily add up to a don’t-go, but it remains in my mind for the time being an open question. She’s going to admitted students day, so let’s see what she says!
