[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all these top schools the admissions rate is even tougher then it looks because most kids applying all have excellent grades/scores/dc. I wonder how does a smart kid who has Bs and not a standout athlete get a chance even with full pay?[/quote] Not true. Bs won't hurt you and not every single kid is a recruited athlete (that should be obvious).[/quote] Seriously. This whole meme of "every kid has perfect scores and is perfect in every way!" is stupid. Even with grade inflation, not every kid is going to have a perfect profile. Also, not every kid is going to present the same during interviews and other interactions with the school. Yes, many of these schools are competitive to get into, but kids can make themselves stand out. [/quote]
