[quote=Anonymous]From lurking around here, there's major saltiness when a student is rejected or waitlisted at a school they considered a target — like, places where their stats are in line with (or slightly above) the school's average and the acceptance rate is maybe 25% or 35%. Of course schools with a 35% acceptance rate still have to reject 65%, including many kids with good stats. That's where other factors like essays, recs, demonstrated interest, ECs, and pure luck come into play. Many parents here treat targets like safeties and act so salty or snobby when the decisions don't fall their way — "Obviously, it's just yield protection." [/quote]
