| jnsq,
I have no doubt that jerks get in under the wire, as well. Not everybody is interviewed as thoroughly & with discernment as is ideal. However, you personally probably don't know that the supposed "leadership" of the supposedly arrogant students to which you refer are what got them into H and Y. Could be that their families were loaded, and donated. Could be for other reasons, where the nominal "leadership" was not a factor or was even a "negative" in certain aspects, but was overridden by compensating factors. Do not assume that arrogant people are admitted because they're arrogant. |
