@DreamToRedeem When did I ever say that his stats were WEAK? I said that they weren’t remarkable or stellar or unique, which is what those top schools are essentially looking for. I also never said he wouldn’t be accepted; I told him not to bother applying because his chances of acceptance are so low that he is better off pocketing the $240
(or whatever amount is is) and not spending hours perfecting supplemental essays/apps. There’s no point in giving him false hope, like you seem to be doing when you tell him that he has a chance at admittance. That is misguided advice. Trying to become a statistical anomaly is pointless for a student like him and he’s much better off focusing on schools that would someone with his stats. An improvement in grades will be appreciated by some schools, but by itself, it won’t be impressive enough for the aforementioned 3 that receive thousands of applications from students with 4.0s.

Stop projecting your emotions onto me; I’m not the one with a problem or the one asking for advice. Perhaps the self-righteous attitude you’re projecting right now is precisely why you have social issues. Here’s a hint: Most people don’t appreciate unsolicited advice.
