This is pretty similar to what we were told by our counselor and experienced last year.  I think each of the last two HS classes have had some real challenges.

As [USER=153]@upstater[/USER] has pointed out, STEM and business schools cost more, liberal arts is cheaper.  So we didn't have my daughter declare an intended major.  Applications were up dramatically, both test optional and because I think students had so much uncertainty.  When visits were limited, you sometimes had to just apply blind.  Fordham let her on campus for 25 minutes to simply walk around with a map. That was it.  DePaul and Loyola Chicago were both closed with everyone remote when she visited.  She was lucky to run into someone at Loyola outside who showed her around.  Fortunately we got a few in before Covid.

We were advised that she should submit the SAT score, because when push comes to shove, schools were likely to favor the known vs the unknown.  Don't know if that proved true or not.

Hope it settles down some now.  I'd like next year to be more completely normal.
