[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]`` I have seen such superb students get rejected from the Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford schools (and by the way, Stanford likes to reject EA applicants outright), that I also would strongly reject any thought that the counselor is trying to steer your child away from the top schools to "save spots" for wealthier/"more connected" families.'' The grades provided by the OP are not ``supurb.'' They are really good. But clearly a big reach for the top schools. The SATs make the kid a qualified applicant but don't stand out by any means.[/quote] The point is of the quoted post is obviously that even the most superb candidates can get rejected, so that it is an unwarranted leap for the OP to think that the advice to her child was driven by nefarious motives to keep the field clear for rich kids.[/quote]
