- jnwatson 5y agoThat's quite interesting. That's the kind of information that should be provided to high school freshmen.
- HDMI_Cable 5y agoWow, if you have a perfect SAT, perfect grades, and are of a race which is more likely to get in, you still only have a ~50% chance. It really seems like a lot of these admissions are purely random, unless you're a legacy kid or football player. I'm not American (Canada), and I beat myself up over not applying in the US, because of intangibles like "networking" and "small class sizes". Now I'm glad I didn't, this seems fucked up.
