<p>annasdad, I was mainly referring to more selective schools. I didn’t want to say it flat out, but I was. I was kind of responding to “20’s” statement.</p>
<p>I agree to your response to Hubman: Even many people near or within the 75th percentile may have trouble doing this (I’m sure a fair share cruised in high school) in which case counseling and learning resources can make a huge difference. One pattern at Emory that we notice is that those w/pretty good grades use the learning/counseling resources more often than those who are in trouble. If those students can humble themselves to get help, so should others who are doing less well, even if they are supposedly in the 75%. Not even top students are perfect (mainly because our idea of perfection is judged vs. HS accomplishments. College is a whole different ballgame to many, especially more elite colleges. 75% incoming freshman does not necessarily=75% college student).</p>
