[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After hearing dozens of high stats stories for last few weeks where kids are disappointed, wondering about those of you who have  happy kids.

Curious about success stories this cycle - for kids who had decent (3.8ish) stats and got into T25, and also kids who lower GPAs who far exceeded theirs (or your) expectations. Curious about the below.

- background/stats of applicant 
- what do you think made the difference?
- what admission surprised you?
- what rejection surprised you?
- what was the largest weakness in the applicant profile and how did kid overcome it?

I would kindly suggest that your measures of success (kids with "decent" stats getting into top schools, acceptances exceeding expectations) are exactly the problem with college admissions today. Measuring success based on a few schools with limited enrollment is a recipe for unhappiness.

True success in college admissions is getting into a school that is a likely or target or target based on stats and that is a good fit personally and financially.[/quote]
