[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the kids I know it was usually one of the two:

[b]1. ECs were not that strong and/or couldn't convey the drive behind the ECs.[/b]
2. Put lots of effort into preparing the app for their top choice, got rejected or deferred in the early round, were blindsided by that and spread themselves too thin preparing apps for another 20 top schools.   [/quote]

Please. The core period of these kids' high school experience was during the pandemic. Strong EC opportunities were not even available to most of them, especially in this area.[/quote]

This is not true. DC did four activities virtually all through virtual school--FCPS. DC even had virtual statewide events for two of the activities. [/quote]

Yeah, but a lot of stuff didn’t happen, and even this year was impacted. My kid was in 9th last year and did a few activities that did have some virtual component but not everything did. He plays an instrument and that continues to an extent last year but very minimally with few of the related activities. [/quote]
