[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have friends with children at Big 3, FCPS and MCPS. High GPA kids and/or high test kids all did great. Looks the same as 5, 10 and 15 years ago. More unqualified kids applying are making the acceptance rates plummet. But the kids with the goods are doing as well as ever. Sorry to burst your bubble. [/quote] The plural of anecdote is not data. Congratulations to your kids. Our guidance counselors disagree with you. They say everything has changed since the pandemic. Everything. It's always been difficult to get into T20 colleges, but acceptance rates below of 5% for schools like Duke and Hopkins are new. My older DD got accepted at two Ivies ten years ago. She would not get in today based on her test scores and GPA alone. It's much harder to get into Ivies this year. More applicants, same number of spaces. [/quote]
