[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] Too many Bs can definitely hurt you at top schools unless there is something else (cool EC, stellar recs, interview etc). Even then there are a lot of kids with all of these. Grades matter, much more than SSATs. [/quote]
