[quote=Anonymous]For top schools I believe a student needs to stand out in some way, be a unicorn. That is after they have met the basic requirements of high statistics. One way is demonstrated interest and engagement in a subject matter that is unique from how others have engaged in that subject matter. I think it is harder to stand out as a unicorn without a focus, but maybe your student has a way. I have two students with top stats. One got into a top 10, one got into top 30 and was waitlisted top 20, with the younger being the one to get into the top 10. There was a difference in LORs, focus of ECs and major choice, first was undecided and well rounded. The second saw what their sibling went through and took the intervening time to focus and create a strong narrative for a specific major and cultivate stronger relationships with their teachers. I am sure there are other ways, but this is what I saw work.[/quote]
