Yes.  I am the poster.  If one of the applicants is published and none of the others are published, that could be possibly be a reasonable differentiating factor.

And if course it is subjective but I really dont see it as a random lottery as some always suggest.

I have multiple kids and only one was interested or accomplished enough to pursue a really elite college.  The kids there are intimidating.  Many seem to have national level accomplishments and prizes in their various fields and various countries.   It does not seem random.

But my other have their own path and accomplishments in their own right and are pursuing higher education at fine institutions but not tippy too level ones.[/quote]

This is my experience also. I have multiple kids and only one was accomplished enough to have a reasonable chance at an elite college - and she ended up with a bunch of acceptances at top places (11 out of 13 acceptances).  It was much less of a lottery than I thought. [/quote]
