[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college admissions system is broken when a kid gets rejected from so many schools. It isn't because this kid is unpleasant or because his recommendation letters were bad. That's what I find weird about some of this thread- how quick people are to say that there must be something wrong with this kid. Nope. We should asking how to fix the real problem instead of denigrating a high school kid.[/quote] Nope---this kid applied to largely Highly selective schools with the most highly selective major(very highly selective at all of theses schools). System isn't broken, there are simply more kids who want to attend than there are spots in CS at these schools. Want to get an acceptance, apply to several schools in the 30-80 range or beyond with excellent Eng/CS programs who have acceptances above 20-25%. [/quote]
