<p>"It simply does not matter what a percentage across a whole multi-college university is. So long as there are large, segregable pools of talent there, you will be evaluated primarily by reference to the smaller pool that you are a member of there, not the aggregate. Moreover, individual applicants are 100% of a pool of one applicant, and they are evaluated individually on their own merits. If there are stupid people at a school and you, at the same school, are smart, do not expect that each of you will share the identical fate. Regardless of some aggregate percentages computed across your whole school. "</p>
<p>I agree. That’s what I see in the real world…outside of CC.</p>
