[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea whether it’s still the case now, but when I graduated boarding school in early 2000s, our college counselors had a very good handle on who was getting in where—at least among the top schools where we’d have 50-100 applicants and 20-30 matriculate. I’ve heard they actually had lengthy meetings with each school and a sort of iterative process to help optimize results across the graduating class.

I suspect this has changed a lot. And even then, it wasn’t explicit w/ the student. I remember my counselor telling me I was getting into my top choice (HYPS) a few days in advance, but it was sort of like “you’re gonna be happy” wink wink. But it was certain enough that I told my parents and sort of remember that as the acceptance moment. [/quote]

It's no longer relevant.  What worked [b]pre-COVID[/b] is no longer relevant.  I hate it when someone whose kid graduated 5+ years ago talks about their experience.  I doubt that same kid would get into the school today.[/quote]

Interesting. What does [b]COVID[/b] have to do with anything?[/quote]
