[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What HYPMS looks for is someone with a unique ability.  A candidate with 4.0 GPAs with 12 AP courses plus tons of ECs, while impressive, is a dime and dozen.  A musician with potential like Justin Bieber or a Tiktok influencer with huge followers is unique.   It is simple economics about supply and demand.  [b]There is an oversupply of 4.0 GPAs candidates with 12 AP courses plus 1600 on the SAT[/b] but not enough candidates with the potential of Justin Bieber.  Of course, the school will take the candidate with the potential of Justin Bieber.  It is not that hard to understand.[/quote]\

There is no more than a few hundreds of kids in the USA with those numbers. SAT alone trims it to 700 hundred or so. so, no, there is no "oversupply" - in fact, there is no enough such candidates for HYPMS.

Also, randos doing origami and circus acts are not Justin Bieber.[/quote]

If traveling around the country for circus and trapeze, hmmm.
And combine that with someone choreographing the performance to music, um hell yeah, I want that kid.[/quote]

I don't know if anyone remembers back in 2007 that Joshua Bell, one of the world famous violinists, stood in front of a metro station and played for 45 minutes.  Almost no one recognized who he was.  Joshua Bell is a great violinist, but he does not produce anything useful, he just plays music by other composers.  This is the perfect example of someone with a 4.0 GPA, a high SAT/ACT score, and tons of ECs.  HYPMS doesn't want this candidate.

Now replace the same above scenario with Noel Gallagher, the songwriter and singer from the band Oasis, if you don't know who he is.  He would be mobbed by thousands and thousands of fans.  He writes and makes his own music.  This is an example of someone that HYPMS wants.

Can you see the difference?[/quote]

Nobody recognizes Nobel prize winners in public. Girls from the onlyfans on the other hand...[/quote]
