"Do you sit on pins and needles between now and May 1 wondering who is going to say yes?" CBS news anchor Russ Mitchell asked Jim Bock, the dean of admissions at Swarthmore College.
"Absolutely," Bock said. "So the big fear, the question I get all the time, is we want a class of 390 for next year, and we admitted 950 or 959. What if they all came? The anxiety for those who sit in my position is what will the yield be this year? Do we admit more, do we admit less less?"
At Swarthmore, Bock feels many parents don't realize that the average student who receives aid will get around $35,000 in financial help.
"Some of the most selective schools out there can actually be some of the most affordable options," Bock said.

Nice post... Looks like solid state memory is really beginning to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing a drop in SSD prices real soon. $5 32 gig SDs for your DS flash card... sounds gooooood.
