[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous]How can anyone say last year wasn’t different when, because of test optional, many if not most schools received a lot more applications for the same number of spots? [/quote]

I have had multiple kids go through the college application process. Last year was definitely the most brutal. [/quote]

By all accounts, this was true due to test optional...the question now is, whether the continued use of test optional plus people freaking out about last year will make this year even worse....sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I suppose it's also possible that more people are just applying EA/ED to places they would have applied to anyway so maybe there will be fewer RD applications?  But I tend to doubt it.[/quote]

Everyone student I know is solely doing EA or ED, even for safeties. Judging by the email from my DC’s college counselor, that seems to be the norm. My DC may do one RD app, but that’s for a school that doesn’t have EA. Some of those who don’t get in EA or ED may be doing more RDs, but that’s about it, as far as I can tell. [/quote]
