College admission unpredictable

^I don’t think anyone claims (at least thus far) that college admissions are random. But that doesn’t mean they’re predictable. Lack of randomness and unpredictability aren’t mutually exclusive.

If college admissions are as predictive as some of you claim, perhaps you should be in the college admission counseling business. Lots of applicants and their families would love some certainty.

Maybe you haven’t read my thread I started last year where there are many posters that think it’s “dumb luck” : )
