[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stats matter. [/quote] This is OP. Of course stats matter; that wasn’t my point and I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear in my post. I meant that there are a million other things contributing to whether or not a student gets into a college, and that stats alone don’t provide an accurate representation of students.[/quote] NP. I got the gist of your post and agree with you. So many kids are crammed at the top stats-wise. Whether it's a 1540 or 1580 or whether 3.9 or 4.0 isn't going to be the deal breaker. And those markers will vary depending on type of school and availability of enrichment. Of course, a 3.6 UW from MCPS is highly unlikely to get into a T20 unless majorly hooked. The protestors need to reframe how they consider stats. Think of stats as a threshold (or ballpark as a PP mentioned) not an accolade or means of standing out.[/quote]
