[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW.  
The Deal denials are weird.  I watched the last 2 years very closely.  I had a kid who applied last year and had many friends whose kids applied the year before.  Last year they must have taken 25 Deal kids and only a handful were even Catholic.  Anyone with a mix of As/Bs and an HSPT over 70%, even 50% in some cases. 
I wonder if they 1)too many kids turned them down 2)kids arrived unprepared (due to Covid) 3)along the same lines---they know that Deal was a virtual sh$%t-show last year and are purposefully not wanting to deal with kids they think will be behind (vs admitting more Catholic school kids who they know were in-person. 4)it's just a numbers game (but apps were about 1150 last year so the increase isn't that great from last year to this year). 
Regardless, this is a major shift. They were typically very committed (almost strangely committed) to taking Deal kids--to the point where everyone who applied got in. [/quote]
