Let me give you a real-life example.

I have a son who is a 3rd year med student.

When he was a freshman in high school, I was talking to a senior who was excited to be going to a LAC that boasted a very high med school acceptance rate…I think it was 90%. This student had been a top student at his high school, and it was obvious that he thought that going to this LAC as a premed meant that getting into med school was a slam dunk. He thought that going to this LAC meant a punched tix to med school.

Fast forward to present time. Yes, this young man is in med school. He’s a 3rd year med student with my son, even though he’s 3 years older than my son. This young man had to do some serious grade-repair to make himself med-school worthy. In the end, those boasted percentages meant nothing.

Do you understand?
