[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was only top 20 percent of the class. That isn’t as good as he thinks it is regardless of his SAT. I realize the difference is small. Maybe 2-3 A - grades instead of 6.[/quote] Class didn't rank....so he said he was "cum laude" which was top 20% but that's all he knew. If you read it, he executed his strategy poorly: - listing the Jazz thing, first it should have been 2nd on the EC list). - Should have REA to princeton given music teacher connection and princeton's exceptional music program. - needed to show more "impact" in ECs and possibly throughout supp - shotgunning last minute means piss-poor supp essays and AOs can tell. - LOR? Not sure how strong they were. He should have tried to connect the social learning of jazz music through his tutoring/mentoring EC and explained some math activities he does in that program, tying jazz to math (watermelon man math puzzle activities) - bringing his synthesis of math and music to life.[/quote]
