This is for the class who just entered school, ie who applied last fall through this spring.

This is for last year. BUT applications are up this year as well.

Went to an event of a T10 school and the adcomm stated a 40% increase in round 1 apps for this year.

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students. They know or have the skills for how to read (for the most part) but seem not to be able to comprehend what they are reading due to the fact that they don't have background knowledge like their upper-class peers - which is due to life experiences. Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.

Any places hiring junior planners or market research analysts? Also going back to school part-time to get an MBA, so places that offer tuition assistance for employees would be great
