[quote=Anonymous]Nah, for every blows-you-away candidate there are dozens who excel -- three or four of whom get admitted. I agree that the alumn interviews are probably never the deciding factor and probably only rarely given any weight at all. The bottom line is that a substantial majority of kids/parents who believe that if you do everything right, the end result is admission to your (DC's?) first-choice highly selective college are likely to be disappointed. That's just not how the numbers work or how the process works. So encourage your DCs to do what they love and do it well and do it as its own reward. And reassure your DCs that there are lots of great colleges out there -- any one of which could be their next step toward a rich and rewarding life. [/quote]
