[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume you're older and did not attend college recently. If so, your experience, while great for you, will provide zero insight into today's college scene. There is a reason that it is much harder to get into schools now. Harvard's acceptance rate when I applied to college was the same as UVA's now. What you listed in your post regarding activities is not really the "off the charts" amazing that is expected now for just good (not the best) schools. Do you think you'd even get into MIT now?[/quote]

I don't know why you think OP wouldn't get accepted to MIT.  You would be surprised how many "normal" kids are accepted to these schools.

The problem is the kids that get the press fall into the rarefied group where their chances of acceptance were actually like 90%...not 5%.  Those are the kids that admissions accepts upon a 15-minute review...they never traverse into the "maybe" category.

They get all the press attention which then skews the perception for everyone.[/quote]

This person wasn’t accepted to MIT. I am guessing it’s more likely than not OP wouldn’t be accepted now either based on the original post.
