[quote=Anonymous]If you read up on Hamilton, one of the things they emphasize and that alums emphasize is how important writing is at Hamilton. My child got in RD to Hamilton and I wouldn’t be surprised if the essays pushed them into the accept pile. They had high gpa, very high SAT, good extracurriculars, and I think excellent references. They were not an athlete. I think their essays rang true with the rest of the application and painted a clear picture of who they were. One of the things you can control is your essays. Many high stats kids are very good writers. Not all high stats kids are excellent writers who have developed their own style. I think that is what helped our student get in. A huge amount of time and effort went into the essays and it was time well spent. [/quote]
