[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are so many people getting waitlisted ?
I thought kids won’t going to school anymore what ever happen to that? You seen reports on the news that kids are not going to college anymore.

What are you talking about? No, the reason why kids are getting waitlisted and rejected en masse is because too many kids go to college. Why is that? Because in the 90s we vilified skilled labor jobs. I'm an elder millennial and teachers, admins, and parents drilled into our heads that the only way to be successful was to go to college. Not going to college meant you were a loser and would never amount to anything.

Now we have 420 person graduating classes where 99.9% are going off to college. The college system doesn't have the space to accommodate all the grads. Why? Because the same thing is happening now that did in the 90s: we have vilified some colleges. We have kids believing that unless they attend VT or UVA then they'll not amount to anything. My kid watched a TikTok live with a guy who was having a mental breakdown because everyone in his family has gone to VT and he was waitlisted. And he was showing that he has the better stats out of his siblings who are there or who have graduated from there recently. The only university in VA I would avoid is Liberty University, and then the only reason why is because I know several people in recruiting who have said that LU is on their ban list to never hire grads from there.
