<p>I was surprised to see many kids with good stats got rejected by ivies/elite this year. With an all-time low acceptance rate for almost every school, I am wondering what makes this scenario, and we all should see that there's no single formula that can guarantee one going to a certain college.</p>
<p>college admissions get tougher and tougher every year. The entire process is really competitive and stressful and a general pain in the arse, but people persevere anyways! I feel sorry for my younger siblings who have to go through the same process in a few years....</p>
<p>Me too, its hard enough trying to get into a local college. I think its competitive b/c everyone sees now that going to college is important, but now all kids want to do is go to a school b/c of its name, not b/c they enjoy the school all around.</p>
