I think your analysis that the applicant pool needs good advising because people dont have 1400's and are not valedictorians is a little off

44% percent of harvard's have SAT's lower than 1400, while 25 % of harvard's class does. I dont think that is way off at all. You cant expect an applicant pool to be same profile as the students at the school.

And it is unwise to believe that you have to be valedictorian to have a good shot. You don't.
