[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with massive increase in applications and limited objective criteria is that acceptances depend on luck and subjective evaluations (bias, institutional needs) of admission readers and committees. If high school kids ask how they can get into Ivy or top schools, what are counselors going to say? Writing great essays? Colleges need to provide better defined admission pathways to students instead of just saying "Good luck". Most kids applying for these schools have As and do similar ECs. I am not bitter. My kids are already in Ivys. I support increasing diversity as well. [/quote] +1. Increased uncertainty. This increase in uncertainty isn't just at top 20 schools - this goes much, much further down in ranking, more like top 100. Making college lists was already challenging. That challenge has significantly increased due to the uncertainty.[/quote]
