This is what is confusing to me. These schools only accept 1300 or so kids total at 8% acceptance rate. If you know 10 kids applying, chances are they will NOT be accepted.

Also, the students are self-selecting, as the same types of kids would be applying - so similar stats, background, etc (meaning a lot of rural kids in Texas are not :) )

They can only accept a set number of kids... So admission probably seems random and is pretty much a toss-up. (but if it makes us feel better, we can blame it on diversity and URM or first gen being "let" in :))[/quote]

Supposedly South Dakota is the spot to be to get into selective schools. My DC guidance counselor was joking that this is the best thing to do before freshman year to increase your chance of winning the T20+ lottery.

I would not be surprised if DCUM parents start to have one parent move out to have their kid attend school there to increase their chances to get into a T20+.[/quote]
