[quote=Anonymous]When just evaluating raw stats (grades + test scores), there is less divergence between Ivy/Ivy+ admits, and T50 public universities - especially in STEM. So, to get into top privates, students need contrived BS to differentiate themselves. Furthermore, as prices for privates moves closer to $100k per year, high quality non-wealthy students are piling into publics, thus driving up admission requirements. When kids with >1525 (SAT), heavy ECs, high GPA, etc. are getting rejected from CS at UMD (just one example), it's obvious that things are changing. If we fast-forward 20 years, I wonder if Ivy League will be as elite (as compared to publics) as it's perceived today. [/quote]
