[quote=Anonymous]T15 university. White affluent male, non-legacy. Did NOT have the highest grades in class, nor the the most rigorous classes. 1550 SAT. No awards of any type. I think what likely tipped the balance for him is certainly one and likely two killer recommendations. ie, thoughtful, all original, well-written and specific. Of course I didn't see the letters, but these 2 teachers have told me unsolicited what they think about DS as a student so I assume they said the same in print. Also, and I've posted before about this, DS has a couple of unusual and very genuine passions that you can't fake starting junior year. Those served as "ECs" [/quote]
