[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone I’ve heard from is basically not getting in where they thought they would due in part to a lot more applicants than expected. [/quote]

I think it has more to do with test optional.  Let’s all those grade inflators (public schools) benefit and those grade deflators (big 3) get hurt.  I predict worst college placement for the Cathedral schools as their insistence on not inflating grades like everyone else will hurt their students in a way that they will reconsider their anemic approach to giving an A.[/quote]

Honestly, at some point, if what you are saying is true about Big 3 kids being disadvantaged is true, it will ruin the business model of these schools, and they will be forced to change. No one is going to pay 45K+ for the chance to lose out to public school kids of grading differences. The education is often really good but not that good.[/quote]

The education is great.  Full stop.  But not playing the grade inflation game, when everyone is playing it, hurts college admissions chances.  Full stop.[/quote]

I wish more people would use "Full stop" in threads.  Full stop.  It really adds significance and intelligence to a thread.  Full stop.  I plan to use it liberally.  Full stop.  [/quote]
