people who dont get 99 are looked down upon by 99ers..i saw that happening at some ivs..and people with 99 brag about their scores. one of the PD literally told that keep your scores with you, I want a smart allrounder.
point is: someone who doesnt get 99 is no less intelligent (exceptions are there) and someone with 99 is not always intelligent (exceptions are there). These exams are like mugging up things and vomiting on the day of exam in time limits. As said by tm020, some people have problems on day before exam or on exam day. some are doing resaerch, mph, or jobs..not everyone is sitting at home getting food served by moms and giving exam at the best..
This person who has showed that even low scorer if does MPH, research, gets USCE etc..can make a very good profile. One of my seniors had scores in 70s, had second attempt in CS but he did MPH and had excellent publications and got matched in University program where many of us dont even get ivs.
Everyone here does hard work, there should not be anything like why that person with low score has more ivs than me, even when my scores are 99s. Because that person has worked hard or even harder. Doing MPH, research, USCE, cooking food, living in tight financial situation for 2 years, worrying about bank loans, and giving steps, is not a child's play.
So my point is, someone who doesnt get a 99, no need to be depressed even if your peers have got 99s. You can make your profile stronger. Not everyone needs to do MPH, if someone can get research and USCE with contacts or by luck. But it is a definite PLUS..
