<p>2ndly, a lot of great schools have been experiencing phenomena like what ridonkulous (that’s my friend’s fav. word, btw) described - a lot of really qualified kids are getting rejected from what SEEMS should be a match school. we also saw this in scholars, where similarly stated people were rejected for no real distinct reason that stats could show.</p>
<p>i’m going to blame it on the baby boomer generation…it’s resulted in a population increase so that now all the kids are going to college and there’s not enough room! or…I’m probably wrong ^.^</p>
<p>Aznnin: that’s why everyone’s “matches” should now be considered “reaches”…There is no such thing as a match when admission rates are in the 20% range…even if stats are at or above 75%</p>
<p>purty much! haha my overachieving friends and I have been searching fruitlessly for some small possibly reason for being deferred or rejected or whatever…and usually…there isn’t a “good” one. SO…yeah. </p>
<p>when life throws you lemons, make lemonade =)</p>
