[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] My white kid, strong academics and test scores but meh grades, and meh extracurriculars is 5 for 5 on apps to highly ranked competitive schools, both public and private. 4 were good/stretch fits and 1 safety. Only waiting to hear from one reach school.[/quote] Which "highly ranked competitive schools" like white kids with meh grades/ECs and high test scores? Asking for a friend. [quote]When UVA wins the men’s national basketball championship this year, applications are going to SURGE even more. Wouldn’t want to be applying in the next two years.[/quote] Are the kids who are choosing a school based on the performance of its basketball team really going to be competitive applicants for UVA? [/quote] Some will, some won’t. But the spike in an already astounding number of applications will make it that much more difficult for generic borderline nova drones to sneak in.[/quote]
