[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the real question is, how do you explain to a child that they don't have a chance at a school that appears to be pursuing them?[/quote] You show them how to look up the common data set and compare their stats to the admitted students. And explain that colleges are running a business and recruiting a large pool is part of their marketing strategy. It isn't personal. Same as they might get advertising in social media for a car they can't afford.[/quote] This. The statistics are there. Part of the problem is also that parents don't understand the statistics, either. They think that applying to 10 schools with 10% acceptance rates means they're bound to be accepted.[/quote] What? No one thinks that (not even me, and I almost failed graduate statistics). [/quote] There are absolutely people who think that.[/quote]
