<p>@MeIsHM: I know that H says that Internationals aren’t in a more competitive pool. I disagree. Note the steady number of internationals accepted year to year. Yet the international applicant pool growth has outpaced the non-international pool growth. Therefore, the actual rate of the int’l pool has decreased more than the non int’l pool. </p>
<p>Unofficial quotas – look at the nos. and you’ll agree.</p>
<p>@FBombb: I disgree w/the H student who advised “starting something new”. To be frank she has a very narrow perspective, despite her being admitted. It worked for her, but every time I see someone who claims to have started something new, my first question is: why were the existing clubs/NFPs/charities in your town insufficient?</p>
<p>KIds (and that student) feel that “club founder” is something unique. To me, it’s seems mostly another gaming strategy for kids wanting to be noticed by top schools. Rarely have I found someone who actually IS unique.</p>
