[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20/21 was when everything changed. Those admitted in 2020 all got in by the usual metrics. Schools shut down in February/March of 2020. Seniors that year missed prom and graduation and most of the last few months of their high school experience. But the college application process remained the same. Everyone needed to submit their test scores. Everyone had their ECs. GPAs tended to reflect genuine academic merit.

It was the next class - those that graduated in 2021 - when everything changed. For those kids - particularly the public school students - school effectively stopped midway through junior year. No in person school. No extracurriculars. No sports. No SAT or ACT. The public schools remained 'virtual" for an absolutely criminal amount of time. All grades were now inflated. In retrospect, it was absurd and ridiculous and I will never forgive the politicians and teachers unions responsible for throwing kids under the bus.

But that was the year when everything changed. There is before and after.  [/quote]

Agree except that the class of 21 lost their full senior year, not their junior year.  Class of 22 lost their full junior year. [/quote]
