[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that too many parents and students are focused on getting into the most elite schools. For most, even with the highest scores and perfect GPAs, the odds of getting in are rather slim. HYP accept 5%, 6% and 7% of applicants. The other 93 - 95 percent are rejected. Among the rejected applicants, I would be the majority all had the test scores and grades to match the applicants who were accepted. The test scores and grades get you in the door, after that the schools needs to start looking how to differentiate all the Lake Wobegon children from one another and to determine who will be the best fit for their incoming freshman class. There are limited spaces, and the decision needs to be made at some point about who will be in and who will be out. How would you differentiate, say, 20 applicants with perfect SATs and a perfect GPA. Should they all be admitted? [/quote]
