[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was extremely surprised when Depauw waitlisted my DC. All stats in or beyond top 75 percentile.[/quote] Part of the problem is the constant use of the percentiles of APPLICANTS’ stats (as opposed to ACCEPTED applicants’ stats). As acceptance percentages shrink, these become less revealing. Like if the acceptance rate is 80%, & kid is in top 25% of applicants, that is meaningful. But these days, with these tiny acceptance rates, being in the top 25% doesn’t mean much. If they accept 12% of applicants & you are in top 25% of applicants, you don’t have enough info on which to predict whether you will be accepted. [/quote]
