[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]one B in AP Calc Brown, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern[/quote] how?[/quote] kid is highly intelligent. Likely showed in his essays. But I am biased so take it with a grain of salt. His SAT scores were sufficient - in the 50th-75th percentile of those schools. Recommendations were really reflective of who he was (grateful to his recommenders). But I honestly think the essays and the recommenders carried it through. The essay topics were pretty benign... no rising from the ashes story... the kid lives an average american life... kind of hard to tell hardship stories from that. But he was genuine and the essays made me laugh (i hope they made they AO's laugh too). Also, not one adult touched the essays. Not even his AP Lit teacher that edited it. He submitted his original. So the voice probably carried.[/quote] Good for him. So he got a B in one of the toughest high school classes. They aren’t looking for computer brains they are looking for smart capable students with something to offer. [/quote]
