[quote=Anonymous]I think we get that, but the end result will surely be 3% admission rates at dozens of schools. This hurts kids. Too many kids -- not just UMC -- are spending their childhoods trying to "craft a story" for colleges that are just a crapshoot. Having just sent my youngest through the NYC high school system where you get a lottery number at the beginning -- it was a bit of relief. Okay, so we don't have to worry about this entire tier of schools with your 78% lottery number, even with your straight As. And parents in one year pulled the data together to show lowest lottery number admitted so we knew. I wish the colleges would put in a floor at least. No, we didn't take any kids with an 1150 or a 3.1. Publish that. They really do the opposite not. Mailers and emails to kids who have no shot. It's cruel iMO[/quote]
