[quote=Anonymous]There is no right answer on this in my opinion. Packaging the applicant so it fits neatly into a specific bucket is a good strategy at schools that see a lot of applications and don’t spend much time on any applicant. At the top level schools, there are some that suggest you want your application to stand out. So you want to inject some variance into the process by having a more unique, less obviously curated profile. But it all depends on your specific set of characteristics and the specific person that reads your application. In other words, curation probably raises your floor, but it could also lower the ceiling depending on the APO who reads the app. But this is all pretty unknowable despite an industry that pushes a specific viewpoint.
