[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]re the Big 3 /State school debate..Our Big 3 college counselor admitted to us that this year was really bad for us at Michigan and Wisconsin (and other big state schools) partially due to the common app and the deluge of applications , grad deflation and "a changing landscape". We did not have a ton of kids get into some of the popular state schools. Case in point a kid at our school got into an Ivy and was rejected at Michigan and Wisconsin. That's just one anecdote but there were a lot of similar examples. I think the Big 3 are arrogant to cling to the assumption that the schools ALL know how "rigorous" they are. [b]Also, it was a huge mistake to get rid of AP's[/b]. I think colleges do not have the time or energy to parse out the difference between upper level classes at Sidwell or Gds vs AP English at Wilson. This is a mistake that our kids are paying for in this new landscape.[/quote] +100 [/quote]
