| When you review where certain students were accepted and rejected, it seems to tell you that talent counts, but the schools really are trying to fill a particular need they have. One young man is accpeted to CCM, rejected from Syracuse. Another is accepted to CCM for MT, but only accepted to Ithaca for acting. (Was his voice that different?) There are many other similar instances where you wonder if the student did not look as talented for one school as opposed to the other, or the school had a particular need to fill. Also, I guess diversity does come into play--the only students who seem to get accepted practically everywhere are non-whites. That is not politically incorrect--just a fact, which is confirmed by the Facebook comments of such students who confirm their belief that they did have an edge because of their race. |
