Rejected for being too good?

Applying to College
1

<p>Will some colleges… like… reject you if they think you’re too good for them and might just be using them as a safety school?</p>

2

<p>OFCOURSE…happened to my friend last year…got accepted to Harvard and now he goes there, but Emory rejected him</p>

3

<p>Yes. This phenomenom is nicknamed “Tufts’ Syndrome,” because Tufts’ got ****ed about being considered a safety for the ivies, and started rejected the best applicants.</p>

<p>Oy! You guys are crazy fast. My mile times are so much slower than all y’all at 5:36. I am a girl though so cut me a little bit of slack. : )
Track has for sure been one of the best parts of high school for me. I’m not going to college with any expectation to run for whatever school I go to, but I’ll definitely always continue doing it.</p>
