At this time of year, social media is filled with posts of X kid with XY stats who did not get into Z college. Ivy day is a blood bath because, hello, the HUGE majority of kids do not get accepted to these colleges. Harvard’s acceptance rate this year was 3% and I can list over a dozen colleges off the top of my head that have acceptance rates that are in the single digits.

Colleges are very keen on maintaining a high yield rate : the percentage of accepted students that actually attend the university. How can you prove to a school that you would attend if admitted?

The Thoughtful College Search

It’s not among my favorite days as a college counselor, although I’m appreciative that they released on March 31 and not a day later. That would be a cruel and humorless April Fools’ joke for many applicants.
