[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The dirty secret is that the college admission process is so much harder for top students than good ones. The good students aren’t generally applying to schools with single digit acceptance rates. They are applying to schools that admit a much higher portion of the student body IE A 1400 SAT with 3.9 unweighted and 6 APs. They are likely to get into their choices and less [b]likely to face judgement[/b]. The excellent/top kid with no hook is likely to be rejected at some schools they applied to. Go to a high performing school and outcomes are worse. However instead of empathy these kids are told things like perhaps they didn’t do a good job on their essays or admissions doesn’t think they will add to the community etc. [/quote] I hope the poster is a student. Don't worry what others think. It will all work out.[/quote]
