Absolutely. Knew of some who didn't get in and their self-esteem was pretty shot for some years.

I was one of those 'not so smart' kids that got in. I know this because I struggled mightily once I did get i to maintain a respectable GPA. I think the system is most brutal on middle of the road students like me. If you know you aren't good enough, you get an out. Or if you are really smart you can coast in. The average folks get hosed :)
