[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To reiterate - I don't resent the colleges from doing what they need, or the parents of 2020 seniors for looking out for their own kids.

I am just thinking to how better position my 2021 Junior who will have reduced college opportunities.[/quote]

Finally, a sane person. [/quote]

I've got a junior now and if the current mostly defer to 2022 then I will have a serious talk with my kid about going to community college. I think that the on campus experience at a 4 year university can be absolutely wonderful but when kids wind up "accepted" and placed in triple and even quadruple rooms and many of their classes are online anyway...what is the point?

PP "sane person" here - sounds sensible to me.

For those of us with higher achieving kids (10+ AP classes), it is harder to start at the community college level because so few courses remain before they get their Associate Degree. But otherwise it's very smart.  I know plenty of kids who started at the community college, transferred, and have exceptional careers.[/quote]

Yep.  BTDT with our first son who is currently a 19 year old college junior.  Our second son is equally as talented and we are discussing the pros and cons of perhaps knocking out some more college level courses his senior year vs not doing so.  He will be a smart and talented kid no matter what school he goes to.[/quote]
