[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After looking at all of my kids applications, I’m starting to see how easy it is to see what an AO values. It’s clear that Vanderbilt, for example, has one simple essay that does not touch on intellectual curiosity. They’re looking for leadership and impact - pure & simple. Whereas a school like Duke or Northwestern is looking for a combination of intellectual curiosity, significant demonstrated positive impact, and social engagement. Fascinating.[/quote] You think you have gleaned this from the supplemental options alone? Is it just that Northwestern and Duke require/allow more supplementals? And you conclude Vanderbilt only cares about leadership and impact even when they don't ask for that? Fascinating. [/quote] Look at their admissions data (website or blog). What they highlight how they talk about what’s important. The number of supplements a school has is an indicator of what they are looking for.[/quote]
