[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. The way colleges conduct admissions adversely affects mental health and diminishes high school learning.

Their practices may or may not be legal. Their practices if revealed may hurt their brand. I don’t think these are good reasons to allow them to hide their practices from the public they serve.

Colleges are non profit not profit businesses. Colleges receive substantial state and or federal funding which comes from tax payers. They aren’t even self sustaining non profits. Colleges also market widely and collect sizable application fees.

You pick where you apply. You can opt out of all the Ivies, cut throat admissions and focus on schools which are good schools but easy to get in for your child. There are so many of them! [/quote]

As someone who works in a high school, trust me, it’s not just the Ivies. It’s the state flagships. It’s the SLACs. It’s the T30s.

We just went through the process. I feel like if you go in with realistic expectations you will be fine. My ds was deferred from his top choice but was genuinely excited about the back up. [/quote]
