2020 proved to be a significant challenge. 2021 has not let up. A year that posed real frustrations with the journey to university caused many institutions to have to adjust their policies and timelines. And while we tried to solve the issues of the world by going test optional and extending deadlines, we took some things from bad to worse, as applications hit an all-time high and acceptances a low due to these circumstances.
This article from the Washington Post really calls us to focus on what matters. Never have we needed to remain more calm and take care of those things we can control. Applause to Andrew B. Palumbo, Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid Worcester Polytechnic Institute for this timely and insightful letter.
