No reason? Only 1% of applicants are accepted. Nearly all of them have great test scores and GPA.
If she's in the top 0.5% of applicant credentials, then why not? She also has a unique extra-curricular life that may be a compelling factor for consideration at a school like Stanford.
That isn't what you stated earlier. You stated that if she has good test scores and GPA, you see no reason that she wouldn't be admitted. I gave you the reason. Now you changed the supposition.

You clearly didn't read what I stated. I said if she got "excellent" MCATs, (not "good") and "the grades" implying the grades that qualify for Stanford med school above applicants that didn't. You said of the 1% accepted, not even all of them had great grades or test scores, so certainly if she was in the top 0.5% of applicants, she is easily qualified. She already meets the bar with what I originally said. I'm also adding that she also has extra-curricular activities that could set her apart from someone with equally qualifying grades, if it came down to that.
Are you asking if a person who has better grades and MCAT than other applicants would be admitted? If you don't know the answer to that, we can't help you.
"if she got the grades at Fordham and an excellent MCAT score"
Every applicant has the grades. So no, you didn't read your own post.
You literally said NEARLY ALL had great grades in your first response. This means some got in without great grades. My point is that it is possible that she got in on her merits alone and didn't need help from parent connections or wealth. If you didn't pick up on that, my bad.

Nearly all applicants have the grades. All who get admitted have the grades other than a few like Cain. I agree with you that a few privileged people have different rules in life.

Well, I agree with you then, if she didn't have the grades. To the other poster, it was a rhetorical question.

Rules for thee, but not for me.
I do think Mary is a hard worker (and definitely not lazy), but also lucky too.

90 students in the med school class out of 9000 applicants in 2022.
Not a whole lot of room to do anyone any favors.
That stuff happens at undergrad level, but seldom in top grad schools and PhD programs. They need people who can do the work, no room to fake it.
she had spoken about wanting to be a doctor on podcasts. She was a top student and probably would have gone to Stanford if Alberto hadn’t swooped in on her career.
you can hate on Mary for this and that but I think this is a cool achievement
People who "hate on Mary Cain" are crazy. She was literally a kid in a room full of grown-ups. She was not the problem.
p.s. I met her only once but she seemed to be a very nice kid. Emphasis on "kid."
She went to Al Sal at 17, right? That means she was a child for one year tops. Everything that happened once she turned 18 happened to a full adult. People her age go to war and lead troops.
Mary was in control of her own choices and decided to stick with it instead of quit the day she turned 18.
