[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges - esp the mainstream ones he applied mostly for (albeit tops) - are looking at formulas. There's a zillion candidates and they look at the TOP candidates. His GPA was not all that. He had a lot of awards but you don't know how his recs/interviews/essays went. The competition is epic at a lot of these colleges. Everyone is smart and accomplished with high GPA/test scores. Then you have to look at nationality/legacy/location of applications. When I do campus recruiting of MBAs, EVERY ONE of them is tops. You have no idea how competitive it really is. It's about a formula and a popularity contest that will get you in. It's not how real life works which is why Stanley is going to be successful sans college :)[/quote] I think it's eye opening for some people to see how competitive CS admissions is. [/quote]
