[quote=Anonymous]Just call it luck because it always seems a little random among the strong students. DC didn't start up a charity, create an app, or win a national competition. DC had a relatively typical profile from a strong independent school -- 1500+ SATs, post AP-level in the core academic subjects (English, history, foreign language, math, science), a couple A-s on the transcript -- and normal ECs (school paper, drama). If I were to guess, the differential were the teacher recs that emphasized DC's "intellectual leadership" and "best in career" descriptions. DC also attended a competitive free summer program that is well perceived by some admissions offices. DC was confident about the college list but I wouldn't have been surprised if DC got rejected by the reaches. And DC would have been happy at any of the schools. [/quote]
