[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from my kid that results are so bad this year at our (Big3) school that the college counseling office is now telling kids to either take a gap year OR matriculate at a lower tier school and "try again next year". Have you heard this? It is worrisome or typical advice?[/quote] I heard that you are making sh*t up. What schools have released RD decisions? [/quote] Someone keeps making this point, but a lot of kids apply almost entirely EA. There are many schools where is you look at the scattergrams at NCS, plenty of students apply EA and no one applies RD, and they tend to be lower ranked schools that have become more unpredictable. So while I think results will shake out in March to be better than they are now, many kids have heard from a slew of EA schools and may not be waiting on many if any RD schools. [/quote] Many of the top schools don't even offer EA, or only do restrictive EA.[/quote]
