<p>WOW, the last four posts from bigtom, tlaktan, saintjude and 1down2togo have really been great.</p>
<p>I totally agree with bigtom about the cause of the initial hostility. I think the evidence in “Harvard Schmarvard” by Mathews, “Admissions Confidential” by Toors, and “The Gatekeepers” by Steinberg make assertions #1 and #2 ridiculous. Also, why would a person be accepted to one HYPSA and rejected to another without luck being involved. If nothing else, what kind of cosmic coincidence would make the number of qualified applicants exactly equal to the number of open slots. Assertion #3 was really the problem, though.</p>
