I'm confused as to what happened; I know Steve Chen attended IMSA but many upperclassmen act as if it is common knowledge that he did not graduate from IMSA, saying that he got kicked out or something. The IN2 donation makes me think he left on good terms if he did leave. Online sources all say he graduated but IMSA has been known to cover shady things up when a person has enough money (or their parents do, either works), so I wanted to ask if anyone can answer for sure. If this is a joke that I did not pick up on, I apologize in advance lmao

Current co29 soph in wind ensemble, I noticed the "Wind Ensemble 2026-2027" roster outside of the band room had a ton of co28 ppl that must have dropped. Is there a reason why so many people do? Is it collegemaxxing? Time commitment?
