Also Medical and Law schools in USA/Canada are post-graduate levels of education that generally require much more than just grades.

Each case is different. Some students distinguish themselves for admission with their unusual academic promise through experience or achievements in study or research. Other students present compelling cases because they are more "well-rounded," having contributed in many different ways to their schools or communities. Still other successful applicants are "well-lopsided" with demonstrated excellence in one particular endeavor. Some students bring perspectives formed by unusual personal circumstances or experiences. Like many colleges, we seek to admit dynamic, talented, and diverse students who will contribute significantly to the education of their classmates.

Almost everything money 607 posts, is tinged with racist or political undertones/overtones. It's fascinating to see how fast he gobbled up the opinion of the writer without thinking, despite it being clearly a dog whistle to the racist and classist segment.maj. tom wrote:As an example for what top ranked universities look for:Each case is different.

+ an impressive admission essay then sometimes an interview to a panel out of hundreds of prospective students for many post-grad schools like med. Grades don't mean anything since all applying already obviously have the top grades. In the real world after all the education, grades still mean nothing on a job application compared to a qualified apprenticeship with good experience and heavy-weighing recommendation letters from other top people in the field of study. Lots of high-responsibility careers have to go through another period of internship after qualifying with a degree before they apply to specialities and this is where real skill and experience training develops to be marketable for employment. Grades are not everything.

Syrians came here with nothing and basically own the country now.
Injuns just had land in the middle of nowhere, now Chagaunas is basically the new capital of Trinidad.
Venes come here with nothing too, 10 men sleeping in a room and pooling incomes to pay rent to prosper
Chinese people do the same with restaurants and work their way up.
Japan had two nukes dropped on them, and get hit with an Earthquake/Tsnunami every other year. Yet they prosper.
But Africans? "Shieeeeeeeeet, Everybody affi ask where me get me Clarks. Gubment hadda mind my chirren"

Prestige school mindset is a completely different beast. It have plenty of these young students who kicking ball, beating pan, going party and then winning scholarships after CAPE results come out.
It all comes down to IQ. If you brilliant you could do anything and still pass and these prestige schools have the most brilliant minds placed there. Easy wuk to be a teacher in one of those schools
