Tuition Exchange for Fall 2023 (Class of 2027)

Hi everyone.

I have a D20 and an S23. Just thought I would provide a heads up about the TE numbers.

DO NOT rely on the percentage listed on the TE website for each school. When D20 was applying to colleges, we had a few TE schools on her list. I emailed each TE rep or made sure to talk to someone when we did our tours to get confirmation on the number of awards. They were all clear that the percentage I saw on the TE website was inaccurate. One rep confided that they tried to get the website changed, but they were unable to get their true number (1%) published. Some of the schools even said they were unsure if they would be able to offer any new awards that year. (For example, Dickinson had more students accept the award than they planned those last two years, and they were oversubscribed. They were thinking about halting new awards for a year or two to get back in line.)

So, I’m not suggesting you don’t apply, I’m just saying not to trust the listed percentages on the website. If it makes a difference to your planning, email the rep. They were all VERY helpful and forthcoming with information.
