[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with college admissions right now is that it is in a state of flux. None of the old rules apply and the new rules keep changing.  I have read that some schools are test preferred, some schools won't look at scores and most are test optional.  How can college counselors keep up with all the changes?  Should I trust the college counselor who is also having to learn the new rules of college admissions?[/quote]

This is about the only valid point made in this thread. It's in flux. It's a mess. Even conventions that colleges relied on in the past have been upended due to demographic shifts, affirmative action changes, and covid. A point that my friend from HS, now in admissions at an ivy, agrees with. It's a crapshoot.

Those of you like the PP (who seems to now think they are being persecuted), those who rely on numbers and benchmarks and studies you can't actually cite but insist are important, should learn yo be a bit less rigid and a bit more creative--or a bit less status-obsessed about where your kid lands.
