[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The immense majority of teachers do not have any insight into college admissions, OP. They're just like the rest of the population. US colleges are that opaque. It's not like this in any other country.[/quote] It's silly to compare to other countries if you are really just focused on getting into a small handful of colleges. Because here, anyone who wants to go to college can find a way to do so. Can everyone go to the same 5 colleges that only have 11,000 seats available when 1.2 million students are applying to colleges? No. Does that mean admissions to those schools can feel random for a high stats kid? Of course. The odds are just no in anyones favor.[/quote]
