[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am talking about applicants who have the academic stats (1500+, 4.0+, high rigor) but didn't make the cut. Unhooked. What typically happens to them?[/quote]

Many kids primarily attend ED2 schools through ED2 or RD. Also, many end up at state flagship universities.

This is what I observe with top students these days, which explains why the caliber of students is not so different from that of Ivy League schools and other institutions we often discuss on this board.

The concentration of elites is no longer centralized, and talent is everywhere.[/quote]
Will start to be concentrated again when the demographic cliff hits[/quote]

Demographic cliff probably won’t be too noticeable in top 25. At most it looks like a 15 pct decline over many years from peak levels (now). But you have demand growth in top 25 from greater affluence, awareness and aid. Plus they can backfill with international growth. It will still be impossible to get into t10 but maybe starts to get a little less intense tier 2 and tier 3. Need aware schools may lean more heavily on full pay. [/quote]

Yeah- but that along WITH test scores coming back will certainly be a boost to kids with merit. [/quote]

DP. Do you mean merit aid? Or are you equating merit with test scores and suggesting that your kid's odds will be better because of test scores? If the latter, then no. The kids who aren't applying were not getting in previously either. Very few kids get into these schools TO. Testing is not the "merit" many here want to think it is.[/quote]

DP. They will be.  Schools that went back to scores are showing 1,000+ less applicants ED.[/quote]
