sure, a mediocre GPA and SAT isn't going to get your app read, but once you get over the first cut, your essay does become a factor. [b]admissions committees typically assign 2-3 readers to each app (this is for the apps that make the first cut)[/b].[/quote]

Yet more admissions bullshit they leak into the mainstream. This is fake.[/quote]

The admissions readers may consist of current students, [b]faculty wives, [/b]parents of existing students, etc.  They are given a rubric but they are not actually highly skilled admissions consultants.  They might not recognize which summer music camp is most competitive and well-regarded, which competitions are actually fake, the significance of a magnet school., etc.  All that stuff that you lost sleep over! Completely overlooked on the application![/quote]

Excuse me? So, there aren’t any female faculty members in the year 2018, just faculty ‘wives’  and they are ignorant and unskilled? 
What swamp do you reside in exactly?[/quote]
