@MrWiggles I think that’s a solid explanation, because there’s just no way that it’s as easy as 45% makes it seem. Was the salutatorian at my school really less qualified than almost every other applicant? And take my yield for example:
UVA (instate 45%): Waitlisted
while…
Wake Forest (35%): Accepted
UCLA (25% OOS): Waitlisted
I know there’s a lot more factors and every school is different, but you’d think 45% would be an acceptance for me. Why is it so dang hard to get in
