[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they apply ED1 or ED2? Were they a sports recruit? A legacy? Did they do an optional interview or video? What was their unweighted GPA? Did they have "most demanding" rigor? Did they submit SAT/ACT? Did they show a lot of demonstrated interest?

DC was accepted to Amherst and Middlebury RD and WL at Williams (currently attends one of the two NESCACs where he was admitted).

- RD to all schools
- No hooks, Asian male
- Interviewed at Middlebury; Amherst and Williams do not interview.
- Competitive private school, top 5%, 4.0 UW
- Maximum rigor possible at his school (all APs junior and senior year)
- 1580 SAT
- Toured Amherst and Williams the summer before his senior year
- Significant leadership on campus at high school, but not much awards or external ECs

Middlebury did not require supplements. All supplements for Amherst/Williams were recycled. He used an essay about his Asian-American identity for an Amherst prompt related to diversity (affirmative action was still legal at the time of his application cycle). [/quote]
