[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger child is more capable than my older where STEM work goes and would undoubtedly have done well on the Walls entrance exam. Younger scored in 700s on the SAT freshman year for CTY. Older never qualified for CTY. Falling standards are obvious if you have your eyes open. There aren't as many Walls students who can handle the most advanced math taught as there were pre-Covid. From what we hear, kids don't score as high on APs overall or take as many on average. There aren't as many seniors cracking Ivies and top SLACs. There are (minor) discipline issues in classes that we didn't hear about before. Humanities assignments get dumbed down a bit comparatively, because there aren't as many advanced humanities students. If you don't want to believe it, fine, but this is what's happening. Hint: Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, Brown etc. haven't brought back the SAT post Covid for no reason. [/quote]

The 2023 class was the last to come in through the old way (entrance exam and interview).

Are you claiming to know the college outcomes of every kid for the class of 2024 when I would imagine a fair number have not even yet decided on their college?

I know a few 2024s at Walls (don’t have a kid there) and their college outcomes seem great.  Maybe I just know the only 3 going to Top 20 colleges.[/quote]
