[quote=Anonymous]"The hundred thousand plus students are competing for at best 50-60 thousand slots at top colleges." The corrolary of this is that, each year, there are some 50,000 very high-achieving, bright, motivated students who — due to random luck, or for only being the 2nd best clarinetist in their state — don't get into Top 20-ish colleges. Most of these kids then choose to go to schools more in the 20–40 ranks of universities and LACs. So those colleges, which in previous years were sometimes scoffed at as mere "targets," now have very bright, motivated student bodies, too. Maybe we should all be a little less rigid about thinking the top brains are only concentrated at a few schools. [/quote]
