[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] High stats doesn't make you compelling to an AO. That's the truth. Plain & simple.[/quote] I get that. My point is that I feel that high stat kids think/want the line between consider and no to be a lot higher than it actually is.[/quote] The lower bar just goes to show that the schools themselves believe that the level of academic rigor required to succeed is lesser in their eyes than in the eyes of kids and parents.[/quote]
