Professors who oversee graduate programs - what's the quality of your applicant pool in the last year or so?

I'm at a CC, so only seeing the beginning of the pipeline. I'm just curious about how students are looking as they're applying to graduate schools. Is it business as normal or have things gotten weird?

Does your overall applicant pool look any better or worse post-Covid and post-AI? Are your top applicants still at the level they once were? How are students doing once they are admitted to your program?
