How important is it to you to be the one who got in? If a school opened its doors and said, “Our admissions process is not a set of hurdles to get over - as long as we know we can serve your needs (you don’t have LD or behavioral issues that we can’t handle), you will be admitted. The challenge is that this is a tough school with high academic standards and expectations that you will be a contributing member of the community. If rejection happens it will be because you don’t live up to these expectations once you are here.” Would you be interested? Or, is it important to you to go through the possible rejection process in order to feel that a school is worthy?
