[quote=Anonymous]And while "child prodigies" (one-sided candidates) may "reach a high level", these research results may put current Ivy admission philosophy into question. Colleges started to look for "big spikes" because - and I am generalizing - they appear to believe that (i) early success predicts the future and (ii) "one-sided students" are more likely to become famous and bring extra spotlight to their alma mater. If this does not hold true, the current approach to college admissions (look out for "big spikes") may be short-lived. [/quote]
