[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has all gotten out of control. The class of 2022 should boycott this process and go to community college for a year.  Force these schools to stop gaming the system and making these kids jump through a thousand hoops.

Something is going to have to give.

My son is only a junior this year but there are a few seniors in his friend group who had terrible outcomes this year.  They're all kids with excellent grades, scores, and extracurriculars.

I know one who has much better stats than my older kid who is a senior at UVA.  It's crazy to think that in 3.5 years it has changed so much that my kid probably wouldn't make it in if she applied today.  [/quote]

The community college idea is actually a great one.  I wonder if the state schools are communicating (which they aren't supposed to, but who knows - there was an issue re: ivies doing this is I believe the 80's, if I recall correctly - and they were in big trouble for having done so) about which students to take. DP here.

I know many, many, many students who are grossly disappointed this year, rightfully so.  No one wants their kid to be at a school that is a total mismatch, in the name of yield protection.

Last year was completely opposite, due to so many deferrals, and I think some parents were hopeful, maybe overly so. Students are going to be at a loss for the next few years, as a result. [/quote]
