“If you are a parent, guide your kids wisely.” - They were never part of this thread. </p>
<p>I have no idea about your specific experience but if you were an adcom at an Ivy league school, by all means, I really like to get your feedback on how the admissions work. </p>
<p>As a parent, I feel like we are all lost souls looking for some glimmer of understanding why things work the way they do with colleges, high schools. We are on CC trying to find some meaning based on these brief profiles of admittees to understand what makes a kid get admitted to a specific school and is there a way to pinpoint the precise decision making process. The process of admitting students seems as esoteric as trying to find meaning of life. </p>
<p>I have no problem to state that the above is my opinion and if people dont agree with it, not a problem at all.</p>
