[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You missing the part about fit and institutional priorities [/quote] And straight up randomness. Once a kid passes all the hurdles at a highly selective school, they join a pool of possible admits that includes 3-5 times the number of kids that school can accept. At that point, different schools use different criteria to choose kids: some known to us, some unknown; some consistent year-to-year, some not; some grounded in analytics, some seemingly random. When you’re talking about schools like the ones OP listed, the odds are very low and there’s very little predictability. To be, it always feels like a happy surprise when kids get in … and sadly, not at all a surprise when they don’t. [/quote]
