Does M.I.T./Yale Success = FIRST Dean's List Finalist/Winner?

Hey Akash! ;-)

I AGREE, now, that "Admissions is too random to correlate to... Dean's List..."

THEN WHY does FIRST do that?!

I have to confess I've left out _so much/many_ proactive things that were done regarding FIRST/M.I.T./Yale _AFTER_ my son won Dean's List Finalist... time/effort/interactions/loads-of-$$$. And it feels a bit like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the football... ;-)

I'm just trying to get a feel for the success of other Dean's List Finalists in getting into M.I.T. and Yale, the ones that meet the known criteria _PLUS_ have D/L in their quiver... it's THAT simple.

So far, the results on CD and the results I've received privately aren't looking encouraging compared to what's been sold over the last two years.

We saw the FIRST document I point to in the OP _AFTER_ my son won D/L. And then, of course, we were blown-away by what we heard at the 2012 Championship ceremony.
