[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at two Big3 schools and what I've been hearing is that the kids getting in are the top kids 3.95+ and the kids aiming outright for less competitive schools (say, Syracuse, South Carolina, Colorado, second tier liberal arts colleges etc). 
The instagrams look great but what you're seeing are the athletic recruits, 3.95+ kids, and some legacies (mostly VIP legacies).
[b]It's the middle (say 3.6 to 3.9) that are just getting deferred or denied. [/b] This is worrisome because this is a big part of each class.   [/quote]

Lots of deferrals from 3.75-3.9
That in previous years would have been admits.[/quote]

I believe last year, 2023 class, was the worst of the worst in terms of tough college admits or lack there of. This year appears, from the admits I have seen, to be little easier, but still hard. Overall, post covid meaning 2020-present has changed the college admissions landscape. Rumor has it 2026 has a birth number population drop so maybe things are beginning to normalize a bit?[/quote]

Not at all. This year early admits are down (raw numbers) and applications are up significantly from last year.[/quote]

Don't believe. Do you have proof? Facts? "Applications are up significantly from last year"? Why? How? The admissions results I have seen from multiple schools so far are showing better results.[/quote]
