[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where you unaware of the significant increase in applications since COVID? Did you think TO would have no effect on the applicant pool? Did anyone (e.g., college counselor) discuss yield projection for perceived "safety" schools? Do you consider the math/odds in applying to a school that accepts less than 20% of applicants? Did you discuss any of these issues with your kids before they applied? Or is it something else? [/quote] My son’s counselor said JMU would be a good fit, and my son (3.8 GPA/1470 SAT) was waitlisted, so that was a surprise. He was accepted with merit at an out of state school, but their acceptance rate was more like 65%.[/quote] I'm so sorry, OP. I'm curious if your son was applying to a competitive program like engineering/comp sci?[/quote] Biology. I guess one could say it was yield protection, but I’m curious what a target school would have been for him. [/quote]
