[quote=Anonymous]A family friend who got in unhooked has perfect stats, Eagle Scout, captain of a sport, all the things on paper. I have no idea how schools could have known this, but he's extraordinary in that he just hustles but isn't pushed. He didn't do SAT prep, the family is wealthy but didn't do tutors or fancy summer programs, his parents are hands off, some of his achievements were genuine because he wanted to do them, not for college. He loves to learn and has a lot of cool experiences based on his interests but they weren't done with college in mind (really!). So I don't know exactly what he said or did to get in, but he's incredibly deserving. Not burnt out by high school, just getting going in life. I imagine his letters of recommendation were full of "best kid I've ever known" statements from teachers, so maybe that's it. [/quote]
