[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if people realized that for top colleges, high stats alone isn't enough. A lot of people have high stats given today's grading and standardized test quality being "watered down". So you also need to have great ECS evidenced by significant awards. If you have both, your chance at top schools isn't a crapshoot anymore (although not guaranteed either).
So in the context of this thread, talking about high stats without mentioning their achievements outside schools doesn't mean much.[/quote]

I'll go further than that. No matter what your stats, ECs and awards, getting into the top 10 schools is [b]still a crapshoot[/b].  Fortunately, there are plenty of good options beyond those schools.[/quote]
Not really. You could say nobody is guaranteed to get in any given college. But statistically, those who've got great stats and ECs have much better chance than a crapshoot for T10. I have many examples around me to prove this. If a top kid has great achievements and is expected to get into T5, they typically will get into at least one T5. I don't think that's a crapshoot.[/quote]
