[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year at this time we get the "admissions were brutal this year" post. Hmmmm...[/quote]

Well, this certainly was not a typical year.  Covid made this a very unique experience.  Whether it was more brutal or not, I don't know.[/quote]

It didn't[/quote]

Really?

Funny, you must know something that all the college counselors, private counselors and even, wait for it, college admissions officers ALL acknowlege.[/quote]

In 5 years you are going to realize they all say that every.single.year.

Look at Naviance. Same kids getting into same places.[/quote]

Baloney. I looked at Naviance and there were scant red dots in fields of green in the vicinity of my kid's pin on all three of the scatterplots where he was waitlisted. These were T40-T60 schools, not HYPS. His ECs didn't pop but it's not like he did nothing. His teachers have only ever said very nice things about his kindness, maturity and intelligence, so I doubt his letters hurt him and I know his essay didn't. There was something different about this year. Apps to the schools we're all talking about were up 15% on average and they were all test optional. [/quote]
