Hey violin whiner , do you have any older kid who had to get into college the "regular" way? Do you know how HARD that is and how stressful junior is? Plus senior year waiting to hear from your dream school?
My 9th grader already knows what major she wants to study and what type of school. A 15/16 year old can make this decision. The 8th graders NO. To pull the rug out form under the 2020's who were close to verbals or would be after this summer and fall circuit is ridiculous.[/quote]

You are the type of person they changed the rule for. Its about being a kid, growing up and picking a good fit in college. Its well documented that almost 50% of kids don't play for 4 years in college so get the right major at the right school. You're hanging on too tight its a freakin game its not ridiculous at all
