[quote=Anonymous]Uncertainty in college admissions definitely increased with increases in an individual's app numbers. It's a vicious cycle. But, what drives the uncertainty to begin with? Holistic admission and, in recent years, lack of standardized metrics. GPA isn't one. When test optional policies were widely adopted during covid, uncertainty, which was already present, shot through the roof. Here's hoping that the return to test-required at a small list of schools will begin to inject a small amount of certainty back into the process. Unfortunately, most are highly selective, where uncertainty is big regardless, but every little bit of uncertainty reduction helps.[/quote]
