[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]The goal is to have AOs say "wow, never seen this before."[/b] 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] "We rarely see this" is enough.[/quote]
