[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Yes I’m conceding it isn’t random. What I’m not saying is that you can strategize with great accuracy.[/b] You can try your hardest to be the exact type of student a college wants and still get rejected. When you’re looking at a place with a 5% acceptance rate, it’s to be expected. Listen — I didn’t just read books about this process. I saw what happens with hooked kids because I went to a school with a stellar college acceptance record and, like I said before, my spouse works in higher ed. Without a hook, there is very little a kid can do to influence the process in his or her favor. It’s not fair but it’s true.[/quote] Then say that, and don't say it is random. It is dangerously misleading. [/quote] Honestly, what’s the difference in practice between a random process and one you can barely influence? [/quote]
