[quote=Anonymous]This change to a mostly nerdy and awkward student body shouldn't be surprising. That is what college admissions offices have been asking for - great grades in rigorous classes alongside unique [nerdy] interests. When test optional came around, this may have accelerated the trend, as that catapulted the transcript as even more important than it already was. It takes an awful lot of nerdiness to have the kind of transcript and application. Gone are the days when a 3.75 with four APs was enough. Now, 3.95 with 8 to 10 APs. Many of these nerdy awkward kids come from wealth, so that helps. Want a more social vibe, look at the Big 10 schools (except for Northwestern, which will have its share of wealthy nerdy awkward kids like mine), and schools in the South and in Texas.[/quote]
