Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4277735, member: 1414"] The experience you describe in the thread was the same as ours applying last year. Most of the deferrals were the class before that. It was test optional everywhere last year too, and applications ran some 3X-4X normal at most popular schools. I think that made it a complete crapshoot. BU gave my daughter deferred admission for this upcoming year, but she liked Northeastern better anyway. Fordham gave her solid merit, but Fordham was straight up closed. Gated shut. The visit was that they allowed you to walk the grounds for 30 minutes. I do not think they saw the applications other schools did. Had to assume it would be mostly remote. Also agree on the same HS thing, getting into BC out of a Catholic School in MA is ridiculous, the stats of the kids from her school were far higher than the average, because they all apply. I noticed the different treatment too, UVM was exceptional. Loyala of Chicago was as well. Some schools really wanted her. Others like UConn and BU were frankly overwhelmed with visits and had to manage under pandemic rules. It couldn't be easy. You daughter has several good options. Are you going to do follow up visits to narrow the list before May? [/QUOTE]
