[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Athletes are being internationally recruited to top schools and that is probably a less significant drop. Not trying to pick a fight; genuinely interested in whether this perception that superior students didn’t get the expected offers is really different from schools with similar demographics. Is this said every year by each new cohort of families? Is this a year with a large application group? Or have colleges that were previously targeted by a narrow group of people now targeted by many? And what’s the shake out after Common app and then waitlist changes? Arguably the whole system is stacked for more advantaged kids, so compared with schools of equal wealth ratios, is there a real difference? Also, compared to schools with graduates who are first from their family to college is TC placing these kids broadly? In some Fairfax schools the focus is on graduation numbers and getting to college means reading the generic info sent in emails. Top kids and next tier down are mostly on their own.

The UVA and WM admission numbers are both down by 50% over two years, and the VaTech number is down by more than that.  Check the TC 2015 and 2016 releases.
