[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from my kid that results are so bad this year at our (Big3) school that the college counseling office is now telling kids 
to either take a gap year OR matriculate at a lower tier school and "try again next year".

Have you heard this? It is worrisome or typical advice?[/quote]

I heard that you are making sh*t up.  What schools have released RD decisions? [/quote]

Someone keeps making this point, but a lot of kids apply almost entirely EA. There are many schools where is you look at the scattergrams at NCS, plenty of students apply EA and [b]no one applies RD[/b], and they tend to be lower ranked schools that have become more unpredictable. So while I think results will shake out in March to be better than they are now, many kids have heard from a slew of EA schools and may not be waiting on many if any RD schools.  [/quote]

This isn't true. My DC applied to many schools that only had ED and RD as options and the top school on DC's list only has RD.[/quote]

It isn’t true for you. It is true for others.[/quote]

Of course. PP said No one applies RD. That is what is not true.[/quote]
