[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where you unaware of the significant increase in applications since COVID? Did you think TO would have no effect on the applicant pool? Did anyone (e.g., college counselor) discuss yield projection for perceived "safety" schools? Do you consider the math/odds in applying to a school that accepts less than 20% of applicants? Did you discuss any of these issues with your kids before they applied? Or is it something else?

DC has options, so we don't totally fit in this category. Turns out DC got into a reach school, less than 30% acceptance rate with profile in the bottom 25%. Did not go test optional. But, I was VERY suprised he didn't get into a "safety" school that has a 70% admit rate and DC being in the top 75% of their range. It was the school DC planned to attend. Thankfully, he just got lucky on a reach he had out there.

We were surprised! We didn't have any warning from anyone that things were so different this year.  I'm still not sure I understand this year even after going through it.[/quote]

Woops! I meant top 25%. His stats were in the top of their range.[/quote]
