[quote=Anonymous][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]

What needs to give is the perception than only a small handful of schools are "good".  Or that going to a school that isn't on the top 10 list is a "terrible" outcome.  [/quote]

Are all of these parents talking about ivies?? That would be bad and terribly unrealistic.  If the kid has the stats, with no "in", then the parents could rightfully be disappointed.

The real issue is, too many parents think they can game the system.  As the recent debacles (including the change in TJ HS to lottery) has taught us - gaming the system is something the colleges are trying to avoid. Parents really need to let their kids be who they are, not who the parents want them to be, in the name of bragging rights. [/quote]
