We are finally starting to see some light shine through after a year that we never thought would end. We are beyond proud of our students and happy to report that everyone has been accepted to a school that is a great fit for them.   To our seniors, congratulations for working so hard. We continue to be impressed with your resiliency and ability to embrace uncertainty. We wish you the best of luck and know that you will all be assets to your future colleges! Below is a partial list of colleges to which CBM students were accepted. 

The pandemic disrupted college admissions in ways that will have long term effects. Let’s look at what happened this year: Test optional became the norm. Most schools were test optional (and many will continue to be for the next 2-3 years). More students applied to the most select schools. More virtual visit options. Colleges created numerous opportunities for students to engage virtually, increasing access to underserved and low-income students. More students applied to more schools! Lack of in-person visits. Students could not visit colleges in person and felt uncertain about their prospects. Students applied to more schools! Yieldability is the new buzz word. Colleges use data analytics to determine the “yieldability” of a student, deferring or waitlisting students who were using it as a safety. Students freaked out by being deferred and applied to more schools!   This led to incredibly low acceptance rates at the most select schools and increase in waitlists.
