[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bubble's a myth. It suggests that people are rank-ordered by stats and that there's a massive tie once the highest stats kids are admitted. But really stats just put you in the qualified pile and what moves you from there to the admitted pile varies. [b]Standing out (in some positive way) matters[/b]. Demographics matter. Institutional goals matter. It's not a lottery but it's not a meritocracy either. It's more like speed dating.[/quote] Like having perfect grades and SATs.[/quote]
