[quote=Anonymous]its been extremely competitive (so many applicants that there is some level of luck/arbitrariness and lots of uncertainty to admissions at the very top schools) for years and then only gotten worse. parents being shocked to experience it when their kids reach this age and nice, well-rounded, active in activities nearly perfect grade and test score get rejected by the top schools is a tale as old as time too. the grade deflation actually helps (not hurts) for admission at the top schools if (and only if) you can demonstrate in the cohort at the top of the class. lots of students who apply ED do so at a reach without truly understanding their chance of success at that school. occasionally deferred applicants end up waitlisted etc.[/quote]
