[quote=Anonymous]Besides the obvious (first gen, URM): --National awards/recognition. Win Regeneron or National Math olympiad. There are lists out there of the biggest ones. --Playing an obscure sport or instrument at a very high level. Think synchronized skating or playing the harp. This worked for several people we know. --Deep, proven, commitment to an unusual but intellectual hobby. Your kid is an opera buff. Has seen every opera in the world. Has maintained a blog about opera for years. Posts interviews with top opera singers. Self-studied Italian to appreciate Rigoletto without subtitles. You get the idea. The goal is to have AOs say "wow, never seen this before." Rich people in NYC hire college advisors to help them with this stuff but you have to start early, like 8th or 9th grade, even earlier for a sport or instrument. [/quote]
