[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen selective college admissions “just work out” where it appears to happen by luck or easily for an apparently underwhelming candidate? I keep hearing stories of lower Ivy admits (and other private T25) for seniors who had [b]meh grades (3.75-3.85uw) and so-so scores (33-34)[/b] ending up at places like Cornell, WashU, Vanderbilt, Rice, Emory, USC - from private high schools. How does this happen unexpectedly? Is the kid just a stealth achiever? Or did a pricey admissions counselor manufacture a story? Or a secret VIP? Truly curious.[/quote] On what planet are those "meh grades"?? Honestly, DCUM never disappoints. The kids who were admitted with those grades and scores absolutely deserve to be there, whether they're from public or private schools. In fact, I always love to see the expressions of people like OP who are shocked to learn that the kids they underestimated made it into an Ivy or other top school. [/quote]
