[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me in the late 90s. One of the smart kids at school, got into my reach university. Became one of the not as smart kids there. Looking back, it’s clear now that I have undiagnosed attention deficit (inattentive) and if I knew that and had been coached all along it may have been better. Also, if my parents knew I was struggling (they never asked to see my grades and assumed I was doing fine) maybe they could have helped, but I was embarrassed to tell them. I graduated above a 3.0, got a good job after college, and turned out fine. But my self esteem did take a big hit. [/quote]

You are the type of student top universities have stopped letting in. What they have found is if they can find a student with your stats but is an athlete, artist, dancer, etc they don't solely rely on school/GPA for their self esteem so being a 3.0 student among a bunch of 3.8 students does not hurt the self esteem.

This is why having a holistic model is so important now. [/quote]
