  1. Because of the CAPE marking fiasco in 2020 results where it seems SBAs were weighted unscrupulously, a lot of the usual suspects were left in the cold. This would have given the non denominational schools a better chance despite the unfairness to those who were disadvantaged because of stupidity by CAPE . The non Ds failed to capitalize yet again.
