[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - Restating the statement. I think holistic admissions is there and is fine but colleges should also say that, if you don't have a very high GPA (basically nothing less than A's), please dont apply. They would want you to think you have a chance, so they can show their selectiveness.[/quote]
[b]Colleges don't need to say anything.[/b] Your complain is that more straight-A students are choosing to apply on their own, despite knowing the low acceptance rate. [/quote]

This is the problem they should say how they are selecting kids so you would know where to apply. how do you want kids to select colleges? Obviously it is not stat there is more to it, then why not disclose that so student would know where they stand.[/quote]

Because they want the super low admissions rates. Look at them advertising it! They’d much rather have a 2% admissions rate than a class full of 1600/4.0uw. The low admissions rate is more prestigious. [/quote]
