[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They applied to 21 schools!!! Iād guess every top 20% kid did close to the same, which means the odds are fully and completely against you. 55,000 applicants for 1,800 spots and they are surprised by their admission results. š Yes, applicant, you truly overestimated the strength of your application. [/quote] Yes for seemingly "very smart students" they don't seem to grasp simple stats. That is the acceptance rate is only single digits, that means the rejection rate is 90%+. And no, "they are not special" 85%+ of the applicant probably meet the "academic criteria", and then they move onto the rest of the application, where once again, everyone has great ECs and good essays. SO you should not be shocked to learn you can do all that and still get rejected at all the T25 schools you apply to. Mathematically, it's the most logical result. So if you get into a few, that is a great result [/quote]
