[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Denied at a high match that sibling was admitted to two yrs ago.  Deferred at another.  Submitted scores at 75th percentile.  Accepted to one safety so far.

Wondering if this admission season is some sort of free-for-all.  Feeling nauseated.[/quote]

This is happening at our school too. So many deferrals. Do you think all these deferrals will eventually get in RD or even off the WL in June? With applications up 40%+ at most top schools, they are probably being cautious about over enrollment. Once kids start declining offers, I think it should shift. You can only go to one school and many kids on reddit are applying to 20+ schools this year.[/quote]
That's all possible, but it'll be a long wait.  Really wish I knew whether the deferral - and the direct denial! - were more along the lines of "we didn't think you really wanted to come badly enough" or whether it's "your grades aren't [i]quite[/i] as good as your test-optional competitors, so you lose," two different situations.

When reports on early app numbers started to surface, with their huge increases, I was afraid this might happen.  And we're not even talking tippy top schools, more like top 40s-60s.[/quote]

Yes, this is my DC’s situation too. I do think test optional benefits public school kids with very high GPAs and no test scores. My kid has a high test score and lower GPA from a rigorous private that doesn’t weight grades or offer many APs anymore. [/quote]

The poor's get all the breaks! It ain't right!![/quote]
 :D 
The schools have the profile from your's child's "rigorous private" so they can see the difference in rigor among schools. It's not as big of a dealbreaker as you may think. [/quote]
