[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One can’t give examples without exposing identifying information. But I, too, think at some point it is a crapshoot, especially in this year without standardized test scores. Here’s my attempt at an example while remaining vague: a senior we know well was rejected ED from a SLAC (not WASP, a notch below) with a 4.0 uw gpa and 1550 SAT, high level ECs such as national science fair awards and competitive swimmer (those are not the actual ones to preserve privacy). Since the student applied ED, s/he signaled clear and strong interest and no financial need. There is no way that most students accepted at the college exceed those stats. Who knows why s/he was rejected but there is some randomness! [/quote] And geography.[/quote]
