[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compelling successful applicants are: - inspiring /improving society (their applications read in a way that an AO would want to have lunch with the kid) - kids who are changing the world and are externally focused, with evidence of character - interesting and genuine and distinctive (or uncommon). Assume they meet the stats profile. Then try & and hit some institutional priorities.[/quote] This was definitely true at our private this year. Higher stat kids were rejected in favor of these kinds of applicants who hit these types of tones. Sometimes the admits were even test-optional, at schools like Northwestern, WashU, Vanderbilt, and even Michigan (always social sciences and/or humanities).[/quote]
