[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people want to think this year is “very” different but it’s not. This is the same story every year. People want to blame COVID or No SATs. But it’s not different. Kids realize their likely schools were actually reaches every year, counselors act aghast every year. [/quote] Hmm. Every single authority on college admissions disagrees with you.[/quote] I do not know many kids in this age group but know of 4 who took a gap year this year. Were applications way up with lots of kids taking a gap year rather than having their first year in the middle of a pandemic?[/quote] Gap years are very common ... it’s not always common to call them gap years until this year. Stop blaming the world on a normal situation. Kids apply to schools that are reaches even though they think they are likely and they get it wrong.[/quote]
