<p>Friend’s D was accepted:</p>
<p>RPI with big money
Smith, no money
Umass, but not commonwealth college due to serious Senioritis that killed her senor grades.</p>
<p>Now Smith is showing up on the NACAC “space available” list. </p>
<p>I find it fascinating the students who can not get into UM ComColl can get major FA from RPI and admission to Smith. Now Smith is showing up on the NACAC “space available” list. Maybe more people are voting with their pocketbooks, and ditching privates for state.</p>
<p>Family dictated Umass due to financial issues - but daughter is impressed with CS dept and with the freshman program.</p>
