[quote=Anonymous]Seems weird to me he’s questioning how college admissions work. My school college counselor told us this 20 years ago. 1. School has minimum stats — don’t meet them, you’re rejected 2. Essays are read by overworked readers — you have a boring essay or catch your reader on a bad day, you’re rejected 3. Holistic admissions/sports/random other stuff that makes one kid more attractive to the school than another — all sorts of weird stuff comes into play here, including if the school thinks you’re unlikely to attend they might reject you for that My guess is most of the schools felt he wouldn’t attend/wouldn’t finish. A lot of top schools don’t want students with divided attention which means the objectively excellent job offer from Google would count against him. He sounds like he has both solid college options and a solid job lined up — why are we supposed to feel sorry for him?[/quote]
