[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Among the list of students accepted to Stanford is a kid named by Forbes magazine as a Top 30 under 30 for starting his own cutting edge biotech company. Clearly, some of these kids have achieved more by 18 than most of us will in a lifetime. Is that what it takes to get into the elite schools these days? If so, my bright well rounded straight A kids with more conventional teenage interests don't stand a chance. Back in my day the early 90s, Stanford accepted over 20% of applicants vs. 4.6% today. Am I the only one who thinks college admissions espe at the elite schools has gotten too much like the Hunger Games?[/quote] Agree it's getting crazy. They have so many super-qualified applicants to choose from... you need something extra to get noticed.[/quote]
