[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not feel bad, we are at great schools! Just commenting on what I have seen at our schools. The kids that typically get in everywhere typically are qualified and minority. Plenty of qualified kids at our schools and they go to great schools...but the ones that get in everywhere most often can check the diversity box. They know this too. The fact that that you are not diversity candidate tells me you have met another criteria...perhaps phenomenal test scores? Grades? Giving history? Your location? Admissions directors call the exmissions directors to determine interest of candidates they are considering. If you are in outplacement year at a private school the exmissions person is well aware of your top choices in most cases which is why it is rare to get 100 percent acceptance rate. I do not buy that you had 100 percent acceptance coming from a private without a hook. Not buying it. Perhaps you are at public? Most people do not use the phrase minority, the term is diversity.[/quote]

+1. The school know exactly where you are applying...transcripts and recs.[/quote]
