<p>A great fallacy I’ve seen posted on the board of my alma mater a number of times is the canard, “if they accepted you, you must be able to do the work”.</p>
<p>Thing is, I lived through the place, and personally knew a number of people who they accepted but actually could NOT do the work. Such as the guy I mentioned previously, and my freshman roommate who flunked out.</p>
<p>I would not put the onus for making this judgement completely in the hands of the admissions office. When its you, and not they, who will be living with the consequences.</p>
