[quote=Anonymous]Demand exceeds supply is the explanation. And somebody else had a combination of attributes that ticked more boxes for this entering class. It’s really that simple in most cases. And that variable from year to year — and from school to school. It may not seem that way at the most coveted schools (e.g. highly qualified kids are “shut out”) but that’s because 90+% of the applicants to these schools are rejected. What really needs to be explained is why someone gets accepted — rejection is the default assumption. And the answer to “why was this kid accepted?” is almost never the essay (and when it is, the writing isn’t the key — it’s the experience being chronicled). [/quote]
