[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. The whole college admissions process is experiencing tremendous upheaval. Reps haven't been able to visit the schools and get to know the students. Test optional, while good in some ways, has taken away a fairly big data point. Numbers from the class of 2020 and the class of 2021 were off because of covid which makes the colleges much more careful about managing yield this year; many absolutely cannot over admit. Students have had widely-varying access to extra curricular opportunities because of covid. Colleges are accepting a HUGE number of students in their ED round. For instance, the ivy where my DC is going accepted over half of its incoming class ED. That is true for many other ivies and ivy-like schools as well. That makes RD kind of a bloodbath because the RD acceptance rates are so, so low.

More upheaval is likely on the way when the Supreme Court (almost certainly) bans affirmative action in college admissions next term. The colleges are then going to have to find other ways of righting the wrongs of the past . . . first gen? geography? income?

The answer to the SCOTUS play is already there: Test Optional
