[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think any rejections to top schools are surprising. It depends on so many factors [/quote] I agree - rejections at especially the top 20 (maybe top 30) schools shouldn't be a surprise. But many rejections at much lower ranked schools are a surprise. University of Tennessee had an acceptance rate of 75% in 2021, and this cycle only a 35%. I wonder if Alabama & Kentucky will become the new Tennessee (in terms of admissions) next year - where all these kids apply there thinking that it is their "safety" based on data from prior years only to find that it is not. Luckily, we have not had any rejections yet, and the only ones we are waiting on are top 20 schools (where the rejections will probably begin for us).[/quote] It's called the "carpet bagger" effect. Y'all ain't wanted. [/quote]
