[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've watched admissions for several years now and I can assure you all that it's not the traditionally smartest who get into HPY etc. Each year, most of the spots at those schools are filled by athletes and legacies. The strong athlete with a B+ average always trumps the unhooked A student. The A students go to middlebury, Williams, Amherst and end up very happy and successful. [/quote] Middlebury and Williams also prefer well rounded strong students to book worms with highest scores. Schools have long known that those who are likely to succeed in later life make better alums than the 16 year old geniuses like Ted Kaczynski who score off the charts. [/quote]
