The NACAC College Openings Update is out, launched as usual in the spring. It is always amazing how few parents and students know of this option. Indeed, the 250+ institutions that appear on this list are STILL looking for applicants for the Fall of 2024, the semester that begins in August/September.
Perhaps due to still-shifting pandemic numbers, there are some competitive institutions on this list (Belmont, Eckerd, Goucher, Hobart, and St. Mary's of California, to name a few) -- no raised eyebrows from me, many colleges are still figuring out enrollment and yield after such an unprecedented disruption.
For every institution on this list, you must still formally apply and wait for a yay or nay. If any college on this list intrigues and you're mulling options for the fall than you believe are less than ideal, get back to that Common App! Pronto!
