[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has surprised you - that you were clueless about?[/quote] Fake virtue signaling and faux activism are highly valued in the process by the liberal arts majors that are the AOs at these schools. Tough road for great, but not elite, scholar-athletes and brilliant, but introverted kids.[/quote] T20 AO want kids who will get out of their dorms and be active on campus. Contribute. Be both joiners and leaders. In a wide variety of activities - not just robotics. After you meet the baseline for stats, they then need to be able to imagine what you will do on campus. How exactly are you contributing? How productive are you in the day-to-day life of the campus? The best indicator of what you will do on a college campus will come from your ECs and your LORs. LOR are a stealth area of "points" in this process. Make sure you understand the AO scoring process for the reach schools. Review your application with that rubric in mind.[/quote]
