[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way colleges are organized enough to have a blacklist like you describe.[/quote]

This is a stupid statement.

These people are educated, trained professionals with real knowledge of HS and the process, and yes they are likely better at it than the people at your job.

Try this: meet a few.[/quote]
?? Admissions offices are mostly grads of decent colleges with humanities degrees who couldn’t find another job. Sure the Dean of admissions is highly trained and usually has a masters or PhD in higher Ed and has to be a leader in understanding admissions practices, but your everyday AO really isn’t that knowledgeable. You should read books from AOs[/quote]

Yes, I have ready plenty of them, and you are incorrect.

Michelle Hernandez (Dartmouth), Chuck Hughes (Harvard), Fred Hargadon (Princeton), Rachel Toor (Duke)... these people wrote or were profiled in books and all of them are the opposite of what you suggest.

You don't actually know any AO's at elites, that's for sure.  There's a process and they work hard.  Some more than others, but the idea they have no differentiation of what HS are doing is preposterous, wrong, and stupid.  The fact that you suggest I read the very books I have read, which prove my point and disproves yours indicates you haven't done what you suggest.[/quote]
