[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The implication when DCUM parents post that this year was a “bloodbath” (newsflash, I’ve been on here for 8 years and every year is the “hardest year ever”) is that someone undeserving is taking their deserving kid’s spot.[/quote] The implication is that uncertainty increased (as it has, every year for the last several years). Making lists going forward, and categorizing reaches, matches, and safeties, is more challenging than it used to be, particularly for high stats students.[/quote] People need to understand that it's a lottery. You have to have the high stats to qualify for the lottery, but after that, it's mostly luck. If a school has a single digit admission rate, it's not a "match" school for anyone. By all means, apply and hope for admission, but don't count on it. Luckily many schools below your matches will also take you, pick several of those and focus your efforts there. [/quote]
