[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it's hard for him not to beat himself up and think he made a mistake, but every year kids with astonishing stats get rejected from midsize or larger T25's too. If you read Selingo's "Who Gets in and Why" narrative of the conversations in Emory committee that led kids to get bumped from admit to defer/reject status, it's often about subtle details that are beyond stats. The stats are table stakes. It was probably more nuanced details such as how his essay landed with the particular personalities of the AO's, EC profile and fit with the class they were creating, letters of rec, etc. that determined how the decision played out, and there's no way those were identical to those of his friend. Hope he can keep his head up and move forward. [/quote] OP was posting during last year’s admissions (January 2025) so I’m sure he’s landed somewhere. [/quote]
