[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't understand that admissions is basically random outside of the hooked superstars, and they invent a mythology to let them deny that it was a lottery ticket. [/quote] I think it’s the college counselors inventing the mythology. The schools are very clear about the fact that they have more qualified students than slots and are making selections based on institutional priorities. Saying it’s a lottery is extreme cope.[/quote] DP. I agree with this, that selections are made for reasons families cannot see, and college consultants do quite the sell job. Too bad we don't have access to the black box of admissions, which at least partly includes an algorithm somewhere. So, it feels like a lottery from the student's perspective.[/quote]
