[quote=Anonymous]Maybe they enjoy connecting the students they feel would be the best fit to the school. I imagine having to turn people down and deal with inquiries about the rejection is unpleasant. However, it may be assumed (although it is not always true) that applicants who are turned down will go to a school that may be a better fit. Or at least a good fit. Logically, to hit the bull's eye 30 times, you're going to have to miss it at least a few -- to find an incoming class that fits the school and works well together, you have to pull from a larger pool of choices. We're applying to schools in Baltimore this season, and a couple of admissions offices have mentioned being willing to talk to families about student assessments, even if an applicant is not admitted. Perhaps their feeling is that the assessments and admissions process provides one more data-point to students and families as they find their way.[/quote]
