[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to DD, the PSE this year seemed like it was 5th/6th grade difficulty, which would mean that it would have been even harder to fairly decide who to waitlist this year.[/quote]
My DC got accepted with an incorrect PSE[/quote]

I mean, if all they're doing is just rolling the dice, they should just call it the lottery that it is and stop pretending that it's still an elite school.[/quote]

he average GPA of accepted kids is going to be something like a 3.9, in all honors/AAP, with at least Algebra 1, although most will have Geometry or Algebra 2. Many probably have 2 years of a foreign language. How is that not elite? Because they cannot accept every kid with similar stats? [/quote]
We don't know that. The data is not available. They don't have a list with scores that shows how they accepted the top 500 candidates. 
They selected some with a high GPA, some with a lower GPA (sorry, but 3.7 or 3.8 in middle school is not a great GPA), some with perfect PSE, and some who didn't finish their essays. That's not elite, that's mediocre.
