[quote=Anonymous] No. What I have seen though, is students with high test scores, excellent grades and extracurricular activities that check lots of boxes — who aren’t necessarily curious or genuinely well-rounded people, who don’t always stand out from other similarly accomplished kids applying to an unfortunately limited number of schools. They’re not all going to get in — unless those admirable qualities are sufficient for the particular schools they’re applying to. This exactly - every kid I know that folks say was “screwed” just applied to a the same set of tippy top schools because of the brand and thinks scores are going to get them in. And poor thing has to go to honors college at the state flagship and folks act like it’s some type of tragedy. I think for a kid that can’t think past HYP, Duke, Mich but won’t apply to other schools in top 30 - honestly honors college at a strong state school is actually the best fit. [/quote]
