[quote=Anonymous]If anything its easier during the pandemic and post-pandemic years.

In the past, the percentage of kids who were ultra-focused on all of the things that colleges care about was much greater than during the pandemic to now.

There is a surprisingly large percentage of kids that are simply not as focused as students from the past, so if a kid is disciplined and able to focus, the competition is massively easier than in years past.

This is evident in high school athletics too, the top kids are still the top kids, but the depth of competition is significantly watered down and probably won't recover to pre-pandemic competition depth for several years.

The pandemic really did a number on US society but in every crisis, those with greater abilities, savvy, focus, etc. actually end up doing better.  Does anybody find it interesting that the ultra high net worth ($1+ billion in net worth) actually created more wealth in the history of humankind since the pandemic?  lol

But the masses are pushed back several steps creating a dynamic where the gap between the extraordinary and the ordinary was widened considerably since March 2020..
