[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad to see average students not get into top schools. :([/quote]

They are average in a pool of exceptional kids, not average for our country. In the long run most of them will do extremely well.[/quote]

All kids getting into top schools are exceptional kids. All might not have perfect SATs, but they are likely exceptionally wealthy, exceptionally smart, exceptional athletes, exceptional writers, have exceptional stories, participated in exceptional ECs making an exceptional impact or have overcome exceptional life challenges. The idea that just because a kid is smart and received top grades at a challenging private should grant them access to their college of choice is irrational.

The kids that are admitted generally deserve to be admitted. Many of the kids that are denied deserve to be admitted also.  There are more qualified applicants than there is space. Even if you eliminated legacy preferences a lot of students getting denied still would get denied.[/quote]
