[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t think it’s random to some extent you’re naive. When there are well more qualified applicants than spots, there is a significant element of randomness. I say this as someone who has been admitted to multiple programs with less than 10% acceptance rates. I’m not so arrogant as to say I wasn’t the beneficiary of a random choice between another qualified applicant and myself.[/quote] And your evidence of your benefit of being chosen at random is.... ...did you go and look at your admissions jacket where you enrolled? You are allowed to do that by law, you know. https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html? I also want to point out the incredible irony of your statement. You were accepted to "multiple programs with less than 10% acceptance rates". So you applied to more than 10X that number of programs? No? Then guess what? You were a strong applicant and it wasn't random! Maths![/quote]
