[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many colleges have also done a masterful job of marketing in the internet age w/social media and glitzy brochures. Combine that with more effective outreach to out of the way high schools and higher performing under represented minority kids who would have never thought to apply to those colleges and you have part of the reason for the application surge. Add in the aforementioned application arms race where kids are applying to far more schools and you create this application tidal wave. My senior at TJ applied to 9 colleges and that is on the very low end for his friend group one of whom applied to 21 colleges and all applied to at least 12. There is a palpable desperation among high achieving kids around here that feeds on itself. Current juniors see what this year's group is going through and will likely apply to even more colleges. [/quote] Curious, where else did your TJ kid apply?[/quote]
