[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rejected is not the same as getting screwed. Getting rejected from a top school is understandable. I think high stats kids (and their parents) think that the bar should be higher than it actually is. For example, they probably feel that a TO kid or a kid with a 1450 should not be given a chance due to the fact that there are tons of kids applying to the top schools with greater than a 1500. [/quote] BINGO!!! And that would be where they are wrong. The difference between a 1450 kid with motivation and perseverance, who might have not had all the privileges growing up or who truly overcame some issues in life (learning, or anything else) can be just as "smart" as you 1580/4.75/14 AP kid.
