[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s hard, if stats are similar to admitted kids at “top” schools, to get one’s mind around the idea that the likeliest outcome for you, personally, is that you will be rejected there and accepted at a school with a significantly higher admissions rate where your stats are much above the average. [/quote] The unhooked as a starting point need to be above average academically but even then the very top schools have to somewhat arbitrarily select one academic superstar for every X they reject. As you go down the selectivity list, X becomes a smaller number and ultimately approaches zero with ED. In RD anything goes because of yield control. [/quote] Except it isn’t completely arbitrary, it’s often for geographical diversity and gender diversity. Unfortunately, being a girl from the DMV area doesn’t help with either. Too many strong students here applying to the same elite schools, and slacs need boys, not girls.[/quote]
