It’s important to know though that the vast majority of students with “perfect” applications get rejected. It’s not a reflection on the rejected student, but rather the fact that far too many highly qualified students applying to too few schools. The reality is that it doesn’t really matter. Our son has had two arguably elite engineering jobs. He’s named on a patent from the first one. The engineers that he has worked with have been educated all over the place, including at many overseas universities. So, don’t stress too much. It will work out.
