Many seniors are assessing their admission responses -- some students are elated, some are dejected, and many are wondering "Why?" the decision went one way or the other. This op-ed piece from the LA Times gives a unique perspective to the process, and is valuable not only for seniors but for all high school students and their parents in understanding how decisions may be made and affected at selective colleges. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-perez3-2009apr03,0,4003619.story.
The greater understanding and learning that comes from this piece is that this process can be and is a very personal one, and the more that a student can become and be the true person he or she truly is, the better the chances of admission to a college or colleges that will "match" that student and provide the best experience for his or her growth.
