Performance of past hs grads matters in admission decision?

<p>RHD:
My point is that if the grads from my school are good enough to be regularly admitted to Yale, Willimas etc., there is no reason for Swarthmore to have any doubts in their ability to do well in Swarthmore. Yet they always reject our top applicants. So I think other factors than their concern about students' performance should be in play. </p>

On the contrary, our college counselors dissuade students from applying to colleges that are known for not accepting applicants from our school.</p>
