[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s strange that it’s such a pressure cooker and yet so few get into top tier schools. [/quote] But that's the reason. Top tier schools tend to admit 2-3 kids per school because they want geographic diversity from around the country and have a relatively small class size. When there are a lot of academically qualified students at a school, they are all competing against each other to stand out and look "unique" (which ironically they don't, because everyone is doing exactly the same.)[/quote]
