You have to be the best of the best. Not quite. You have to be the diverse of the best (if I may mutilate English to make my point). Horror stories come out every year of the kid with perfect test scores and GPA who gets rejected from [insert prestigious school here]. It's not enough (and rightly so) to be the best of the best. You've got to have something different. Some distinguishing factors that come to mind are: * Socio-economic background * Athletic and musical ability * Ethnicity and gender * Unusual, proven talent in some rare area |
