[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg - many reasons I sent my kids to a big 3 (mostly to learn to write) but seriously who they hang around was zero on the list!

Meanwhile as posters have pointed out GDS outcomes looked great for last year as did NCS.[b] Is there a noticeable drop for class of 2023 and if so does anyone know why?[/b] [/quote]

The word at the schools among senior parents is that there was a big drop between 2022 and 2023.

Last year (2022) a lot of kids got crappy ED results but top 30 admits came through in the RD round.  This year, many top students are left with only their safety (ranked 50+ or 75+) schools after the RD round.

I think what happened is that:
-volume of applications went up yet again--for example, internationals are back applying in full post-Covid. 
-institutional priorities continued to favor first gen and/or URM kids
-[b]the class (2023) grads had their main two years of high school (10th and 11th) during Covid grading and it was fully virtual[/b] in many publics.  This means massive grade inflation because many of this districts had grade "basements" of a B.  Kids got As for simply "logging on" across the board in massive districts like DCPS and huge California schools districts.  [/quote]

No? The class of 22 was virtual for the end of 10th and 11th. The class of 23 was virtual for the end of 9th and 10th. The impact of COVID grading should have been bigger last year than this year. [/quote]
