<p>why can't we just accept that SAT scores aren't the only things that matter? I personally don't see why we have to justify <em>why</em> she (he?) got into the college that she/he did. There's a lot of factors going into college admissions. They may not always make sense, but that doesn't mean that we have to comfort ourselves with petty comments to make ourselves feel better that someone else got in while we didn't.</p>
<p>ouch. that came out kind of harsh - much more so than it was intended. just ignore the seeming b itchiness and read the above comment for the point that i'm trying to make.</p>
