[quote=Anonymous]My mom is a former Ivy admissions officer and she has always said the two kinds of kids they look for are 1) very well-rounded (which in her version means stellar academics / test scores and serious dedication to a bunch of extracurriculars) or 2) very one-sided (meaning that they're doing one specific thing at a nationally-competitive level). I could definitely see "well-rounded" as a euphemism for "not really that exceptional at anything," but it can also mean "class president and valedictorian."[/quote]
