[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question gets asked every year. You only think it’s an unusual year because your kid was part of it. [/quote] I actually think OP is accurate. Borders were closed to international visas, so 2 years of candidates from abroad were stuck at home. Then domestically many parents pulled their kids out of college out of fear of the virus or instructed juniors/seniors to delay and take a gap year because there was societal panic. So yeah even if that led to a 20% surge in applications - tougher all around.[/quote] Lol, having the borders closed for a few years took out a large proportion of the top end of competition and opened up slots for US kids that in days past would be less likely to get in. This is another reason why since the pandemic its become easier, not harder, for US kids. [/quote]
