[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non elites don't read the essays or anything else. Admissions counselors are just recruiters sent out to drum up applications. They don't read a damn thing.[/quote] My son was admitted to two NESCAC schools which are great for him, but they are not elite schools by DCUM's definitions. In both acceptance letters, the admissions people both commented on his essay choice. One said she was very moved by his essay. I'm not really sure how they were able to comment on his essay when "they don't read a damn thing."[/quote] NESCAC schools aren't remotely the same. CC for example gets 6000 applications and admits 2000. VCU gets 17,000 applications and admits about 10,000. It's a straight numbers game with that kind of volume. [/quote]
