i have a theory NDLS' policy post-2021 enrollment disaster is to admit, at most, half of the incoming class before seat deposits and the remaining half after

y'know there might be something to that
12:17
Heard they still have abt half their spots left? Any way of knowing if that’s true?
Of course this was from 3 weeks ago and is (probably reliable) educated conjecture

We've got here 9 accepted of 85 offers compared to a final 31 of 108 last year.
17:17
anywhere from 78 - 148 offers for the past five years
17:17
29 - 36 accepted the offers
17:21
So we're 1/3 of the way there toward the final accepted #, bit closer for the final offers. However, 958 applicants this year is significantly higher.
17:22
553 - 766 applicants for the past five years
