[quote=Anonymous]Why I hope that recommendations and school activities will end up carrying more weight this cycle.

If you have a kid who is a class president, team captain or president of a club that meets regularly with large membership, shows kid has confidence of peers. Great recs reveals competence in classroom and likely character to some degree (probably not a kid serving a lot of detention). That seems like a better bet than essays because it shows the kid has the confidence of teachers and peers in current community. And isn’t that what many essays are about?  How the kid will contribute to the college community?

That should mean more than a pointy activity a kid concocted to get into college with grade inflation grades, superscore from 5 sittings (and tutor), and an AI-generated essay.

Recs from an actual person can confirm the validity of the applicant in a way that these other metrics seem to fall short these days.  Certainly not a perfect system either, but what else do they have?

I would also value AP test scores if aubmitted but that is just me (can only take those once).[/quote]
