[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at two Big3 schools and what I've been hearing is that the kids getting in are the top kids 3.95+ and the kids aiming outright for less competitive schools (say, Syracuse, South Carolina, Colorado, second tier liberal arts colleges etc). 
The instagrams look great but what you're seeing are the athletic recruits, 3.95+ kids, and some legacies (mostly VIP legacies).
[b]It's the middle (say 3.6 to 3.9) that are just getting deferred or denied. [/b] This is worrisome because this is a big part of each class.   [/quote]

Lots of deferrals from 3.75-3.9
That in previous years would have been admits.[/quote]

5-10 years ago, yes. last 3 years, no. [/quote]

If you had a pulse in 2022, you got into your school of choice. Your kids spent junior year online and most schools were test optional totally different in 2024.[/quote]

You are off by a year. Class of '22 was not on line for junior year, and it was a tough admissions year because all the college kids who had deferred for 20 (so that was a boom year for kids getting off of WL at reaches) and 21 were back, yields were crazy high for the '21s, so lots of schools cut the size of the freshman class for 2022 grads. They just didn't have space.

The pandemic started in the spring of 20. The class of 22 graduated in May 2022. May of 2021 would be the end of their Junior year? The schools were closed down in the DMV most of 2021.
