[quote=Anonymous]For Duke, keep in mind that [url=https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/02/21/duke-stops-assigning-numeric-values-essays-test-scores]they no longer score the quality of writing of the essay.[/url] (So if he wants his strong writing ability considered, he needs to find another way to convey that, e.g. through some outside source.)

For UNC, keep in mind that they are officially need-aware now as of this cycle.

For all T20: You're a strong candidate if and only if we can infer high stats from the rest of the application.

To be considered, the student's application needs to be descriptive and tell a story about who this student is as a person and who they will be on campus. "VP of an academic club 3 years" could mean anything and everything. Are they relentlessly curious? Intense and driven? Social and animated? I want to be able to read the ECs and essays and transcript -- even without grades!! -- and get a sense of who this student is.

The stats are good enough to get someone to read his application. Now what? [/quote]
