That’s not what elite colleges are like. They aren’t academic murder houses where people compete to survive.
The admissions process is.
Duke accepted about 3,300 freshmen last year from 37,300 applications.
Princeton had 34,700 applications and accepted 3,100.
U. Chicago accepted 2,300 from 32,280 applications.
Stone cold competition.

It depends on who you know that’s an alumnus of that school for a reference

But you said there were more perfect ACT scores than slots?
There were about 3,000 perfect act scores last year.
Hopefully your daughter values truth more than her old man enjoys bullshitting random people on the internet.

This is where I get exceedingly pedantic.
You aren’t facing off against other people in a competition. You’re sending Princeton an academic resume, and saying “gee shucks” if you don’t get in.
And most people who apply just don’t meet their standards. They didn’t have a shot from the start.
That’s not competition, it’s wishful thinking.
And that wishful thinking is what skews their selection rate.
