[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrible year to apply. Everyone is flying blind - kids, parents, school.[/quote] Yeah, I am getting the feeling from our Big3 that they are unsure if kids will accept. They're going to roll out the red carpet to the few kids they accept because they're not as secure in their choices this year since they have never met the kids. It's very hard for them to get a grasp on what a person is thinking over Zoom. Like past years, there are a few kids who will appeal to a large number of schools--URM--especially those who are top academic candidates or top in other ways, kids who have unique academic academic awards or talents who distinguish them from the pack. Once a school commits to a kid, they want the kid. But this year they're not sure sure if they'll get the kid. Meanwhile there will be a great swath of kids (90%?) who are not admitted and and sort of interchangeable with each other. But the schools are insecure about whether or not they will land any of the most prized kids. [/quote]
