[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on Naviance, not at all true at our large public high school. In fact I calculated that 1 out of every 5 seniors at the school applied to Harvard last year. Delusional! And considering nobody has been admitted from our school in the past 7 years, a real waste of time. I agree I don’t hear a lot of talk about visits to HYP etc but the Naviance numbers suggest tons of kids are applying. [/quote] And THAT is what makes Harvard appear "selective" or "highly rejective." No reason to apply to a school if they have rejected your high school for seven years. I told my kid the same with UNC. They have never selected a person from kid's high school. Why bother? [/quote]
