        Total applications are up because more competitive students applied to more schools this year. Instead of 5-7 applications, they filed 8-12, or more. Also, applications are up at selective schools and down everywhere else because students used test optional policies to climb the food chain. What the better students didn’t realize is that schools would use test optional to admit more diverse students, so slots that above-average white kids with no test score hoped would be theirs instead went to URMs with no score. Now, those above-average white kids with no score are scrambling to find a seat before the admissions music stops. To get an admit, they may now have to apply to much less selective schools, because that is where the seats remain.

Seriously, be quiet, your ridiculous comment is so off topic and projecting your obvious bias it is nauseating.

DP. This seems like a pretty accurate assessment of what is likely going on this application season. It may not be PC or "woke" to say it, but it can still be true. [/quote]

There's no data to support this. It may turn out to be true, but I suspect full pay and OOS kids at public schools will get the advantage.[/quote]

For evidence, look at how selective schools used test optional policies before they became mainstream. For example, look at the University of Chicago. Also, look around you. This year, who is getting admitted to select schools with no scores?  [/quote]
