We know that college admissions will look different in fall, when admissions officers review applications without test scores, limited activities, and possibly a semester with pass/no pass grading.  This article has helpful tips for the Class of 2021.  But perhaps most important is the very last line:  "We get it."  Admissions offices understand that everyone's application will look different.
