[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not the PP, but we were told by an educational consultant AND someone who sat on the board of a major VA college, that indeed it IS a game, in that quotas come into play. The schools say they don't have quotas, but in fact they do. It's important for kids to know that if they DO 'play the game' and are rejected or wait-listed, the 'game' isn't just about their GPA and test scores. As long as the 'play the game', with the truth in mind, then I can see where the experience might be valuable. [/quote] That's was my feeling. Of course there are politics at work, but I wouldn't try to spare my child from unfair disappointment (if that is how some people consider it) by discouraging them from applying to two of the top colleges in the state.
