[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect that schools that remain TO will see increasing application numbers, particularly those that are already perceived as being exclusive. [/quote]

This will be interesting. The T10s that reinstated tests will have application numbers go down because the dummies will no longer apply to them and the TOS will get even more applicants.  I’m guessing USNWR will change rankings because no way the Ivies ate going to tolerate TOs falsely moving up in this numbers game.[/quote]

And your post, with the stupid gaming of the rankings and colleges' influence, is why this entire thing is such a sham. [/quote]

Do wish the apps could add a few Qs:

1) How much did you pay for college consulting and test prep?
2) How much did you pay for club/travel sports? 
3) Describe any ways that you compromised your integrity to get your GPA? (I have so much to say about this….but not the right thread)
4) Did your parents force you to stay in an activity, sport, or club (or develop your own nonprofit/club/fill-in-the-blank) even though you derived no joy or sense of your own agency in said endeavor?

Major problems, DCUM. TBH I’m not sure I want my kid competing for a “top” spot. I am concerned about the peer group. 😳[/quote]
