[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many DCUMers are in denial about the truths behind what Selingo's book uncovered.[/quote] And what are they?[/quote] Admissions decisions are often based most on the needs/institutional priorities of a school.[/quote] This - faculty kids, legacy, donors, athletes. other lesson: schools are still being wowed by bullshit ie the elephant whisperer ie the girl who went on the one-week paid trip to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. it's a lot of bullshit out there. [/quote] Yep. The two legacies bumped my kid who had a much higher gpa, scores (kids know each other) and even 'better' ECs. Nothing you can do about that part.[/quote]
