[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is always an angle. You just don't know it. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it isn't there. End of story. Just being nice and super smart doesn't cut it any more for elite college admission. 
In fact, if they are super smart, they will conceal the angle very well. That's what smart people do. They don't blabber about it and reveal their secrets which would make their achievements look less than spectacular.[/quote]

This conspiratorial thinking is hilarious. Kids just get accepted sometimes.  and while this particular family got both kids in, these same kids may have been rejected at other schools.

Perhaps it makes you or your kid feel better about not getting in to believe [b]everyone is gaming the system[/b], so if it works as a coping mechanism for you, good for you.[/quote]

Gaming and having an angle are not the same. Gaming is what the Operation Varsity Blues folks did. Having an angle is figuring out a legal way by which your smart kid can get a nod from the gatekeepers at a particular university. And it doesn't mean that they will be accepted at every school. They just have to have an angle for one school. Often the smart ones do. Your ability to argue logically is pathetic. You conflate having an angle with something "ominous". Here is the simple reality. You need an angle to get into these schools, if you are unhooked. Otherwise you are not getting in. Plain and simple. Every unhooked kid who gets in had an angle. Every one. Just because the OP can't figure it out, does not mean they did not use a "Rosetta Stone" to crack the code. Just because you cannot figure out how the magician did the trick, doesn't mean its a miracle  :roll: Every magic trick is just that, a "trick"[/quote]
