[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immediately after Floyd’s murder many schools increased their diversity efforts. That combined with the sudden test optional/blind practices (mostly due to Covid but also partly because of diversity pushes) created some new obstacles for the unhooked but academically strong. That period contributed to the anti DEI sentiment of today. With many things, when the pendulum swings too far one way, it often overcorrects in the other. Admissions were particularly brutal for the HS class of ‘21, since there were fewer slots following many deferred admissions from the year before, due to Covid. [/quote] Class of 2021 had it the worst bc it was such a shock. Plenty of top kids missed out on their top choices and ended up at decent, but not super selective schools. Classes of 2022 and 2023 knew it was going to be rough so were mostly able to readjust expectations. By 2024, things seemed to have leveled off and maybe improved for applicants. [/quote]
