[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like maybe part of this is admissions committees don’t understand some of the CS technology so can’t evaluate the applications well? I know my kid included maybe too many technical terms in describing their achievements. [/quote]
That could be part of it. It could also be school selection. My son and a couple of his buddies were certain that they will get into t10s. They are all having a truly humbling experience. As somebody on Reddit put it - CS can make your safeties look like reach schools.[/quote]

It's true. And just a warning I gave our son last year  -- make sure your kid realizes that wherever they land, they will be surrounded by kids just as well prepared with stats just as high, all the way down the line in CS. So don't goof off thinking you'll have it easier than the rest. There may be lower stats kids in the school bringing down the school's average, which is what made kids think it was a safety, but they are not in CS.[/quote]
