[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the focus away from high stats kids and instead on ECs and the kid's narrative is because T20 schools are searching for full pay kids. The kid with perfect SATs, 12+ APs, and an uw 4.0 with somewhat mundane ECs, no national awards, and no careful narrative reads like a middle class kid. That middle class kid won't check any boxes for FGLI, but will still require a lot of financial aid. The kid with the lower stats, but interesting ECs and a cohesive narrative reads like a wealthy kid with parents who can afford to put them into weird activities, get them private coaching, and hire an expensive college consultant. That kid is full pay and still smart enough to do well at the school. [/quote]
