[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work for the admissions office for my school and the reality is they have to reject a ton of people with good stats because there are simply more applicants with those qualifications than there are spots. There are a lot of X factors like desired majors, usual skills, a very compelling and tailored essay, and so on. Most applicants are not obviously unqualified, usually parents and guidance counselors are realistic with students. So that 90% rejected includes a lot of great kids. And kids need to understand that. They are not bad or failures for not getting into these very competitive schools. It's a crapshoot and depends on factors you sometimes can't really predict like maybe there were just too many people who wanted to major in economics that year. [/quote] Exactly. How many kids from the DMV are standing in line to major in, say, agriculture of some sort?[/quote]
