[quote=Anonymous]Like I said to my child...if the rejection rate at a school is 94%, than the likely outcome for each applicant is that they will be rejected. Point being that more than 9/10 applicants to that school will be rejected. That is a fact. You need some schools where the MAJORITY of kids from your child's peer group are accepted. Play a LITTLE loose and fast if he/she is a SUPERSTAR nationally...but understand that lots of other factors will come into play (besides GPA and SAT) like how many kids apply from the same area, gender, EC's, race, major, recruited athletes, alum's, etc. At highly selective schools, most of the strong applicants get rejected too. It is math, and you had better brush up on it. [/quote]
