[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is a high stats kid, isn't she the definition of "spiky"? the kid who is focused on one thing? [/quote] No. At this tier of school, everyone has high stats. Specialized magnet or DE classes coukd be somewhat helpful, but many applicants have these. The kid will want more tangible ways to demonstrate a spike -- awards, portfolio. There are plenty of great schools for which high stats alone recommend a student. But, for top tier schools, high stats are kind of the base, since so many applicants have them.[/quote]
