[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Dartmouth AO podcast from this week with the Brown AO is super interesting.

Note - my kid applied to neither school, but helpful to understand their mindset.[/quote]

They address why so many international students or immigrant parents might be frustrated because there is no equation to get in.
Worth the listen.

Especially the end "[b]merit [and they mean what they value your application for] lives in places you don't always expect"[/b]..... think it's what everyone here has been saying for a while - it's [b]not the fancy stuff that gets you in.[/b] It's the kid who writes a letter to an elder every day for all 4 years of HS (and his teachers know about it;) it's the kid theater kid who was bullied in middle school, who started a costume club for younger kids; its the kid who goes to a private school but is a car mechanic after school.

So many great stories.

I love this.
It explains why my kid got handwritten AO notes from T20 and T10SLACs discussing how they envision my kid using their kindness to be an active member of the community.

Agree that this what they are looking for.[/quote]
