[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gds year didn’t look that great [/quote]

I call BS.  GDS has had some truly outstanding years and maybe this one by comparison was more meh.  It's all relative.  GDS college applicants are well prepared, GDS has lots of parents with Ivy degrees even by Big 3 standards, and GDS for decades has been doing the social justice walk when its peers have been more talk.  That really resonates with college admission deans today, who are more focused on DEI than ever.  So I'm optimistic about the chances of GDS applicants.[/quote]

I'm not PP but a parent who has a senior who recently finished the college application cycle. We are at a different highly competitive DC school and know many GDS seniors. Instead of calling BS - as if this is some sort of an insult - I suggest you take this is as a cautionary tale of how admissions were different this year (not just at GDS). Please don't rely on past successes to gauge your chances of admission. Talk to parents and try to understand what really happened this year without brining a chip on your shoulder. Or...just proceed with your current stance and be disappointed when you discover the new reality. [/quote]

What is the new reality?[/quote]
