How to accept rejection from top choice?

<p>From your earlier post.</p>

<p>“BULLCRAP!!!”</p>

<p>Shouting abuse is not an effective way to make your point.</p>

<p>“the point is not their 2300”</p>

<p>Poor grammar does not inspire confidence in your assertion that you are a successful example of the outcome when an Ivy League college accepts a candidate who barely meets admission standards.</p>

<p>I stand by what I said earlier. I believe that a majority, i.e. more than 50%, of students in highly selective universities do not party to the extent that it affects their grades. </p>

<p>Score data for accepted students at some highly selective universities. I do accept that your idea of highly selective and mine may differ.</p>

<p>Students with SAT Scores in the range 700-800 </p>

<p>Caltech – CR 83%, Math 99%, Writing 86%</p>

<p>Princeton – CR 76%, Math 81%, Writing 81% </p>

<p>Harvard – CR 77%, Math 80%, Writing 80%</p>

<p>Given this data I think it is not unreasonable to suppose that over 50% of students in these colleges would have a combined SAT of 2300.</p>
