<p>This was an interesting experiment, but it does have a few flaws. Like many before have mentioned, college admission has become much more competitive in the past few years, and I really don't know if one case is enough to prove anything. I have heard that the Ivies are looking for certain types of students, and my application efforts have been focused on just being who I am and hoping that my personality is the right one. I think if you get rejected from a school, it is most likely for a good reason. Perhaps you just don't fit there, or maybe you would sink academically. All I can say is there is no science, and thus there cannot be experiments.</p>
