You can bash repeating/reclassing/PG-ing all you want, but at the end of the day, you have to face the facts: It is now (whether you agree with it or not) the norm, and you, your ego, and your kid are going to have to get used to it.
It is not the norm- it is still the exception. Most families and kids are not jumping at the bit to spend an extra year or money on school. If needed as a pg year, ok. It may be more likely to see on other regions outside LI, but even in those other areas, many folks are not jumping on the band wagon. Early recruitment is most likely going to backfire in three years, with kids all changing their commits, not make grade or scores or what not- the trend will swing closer to late soph or Junior year then. When that happens, there will be less reclassification.
It's great to go to a school you normally could not get into- but let's be honest- money isn't flowing and you still have to be able to stay in once there. GL to all.
