[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't any tougher than any of the other years - Mom of 4. [/quote]

Yes, it was.  The statistics quite irrefutably show it was. My senior landed well but I look around and many did not.

Again - with the “same as every other year” people.  Schools made TO a reality - this alone changed the landscape of application pool.  That is not an opinion it is a fact.  The push to elevate non academic criteria is also a fact.  And finally - COVID - no in person schools and resulting grade inflation also is a fact.  [/quote]

Test optional is a change but the effect is unknown. The expansion of the applicant pool probably makes a difference but the pool has been expanding most years. The question is whether the magnitude of the expansion matters. Probably but hard to tell two weeks after decisions were released. Great qualified kids have always failed to get into schools. Is it really more this year?

Elevation of non academic criteria happened just this past year? Really?  You’re going to argue that?

Where is the data supporting your fact that grade inflation resulted from the pandemic?
