My senior class had three girls in the top ten get accepted to and enroll at Brown, with another few getting waitlisted or outright rejected who were potentially qualified to get in. The only trait I can think of that made these girls more qualified than others to get accepted is that they each had a "thing" that made them unique in addition to the usual amazing academics, test scores, and extracurriculars. One girl was a fantastic writer and took a gap year to teach English in Spain, one girl wanted to join the CIA and taught herself enough Arabic to study abroad in Egypt and Morocco, and the third girl had a family member who works for Brown in a high-level capacity (not that she wasn't also amazing). Hopefully your son has a "thing" that will help him stand out in a good way! I know this time of year is the most stressful for high school seniors and I wish him the best of luck writing all those cursed essays.

It was a very successful, albeit exhausting, trip. I'm wiped out. Driving from Providence to Ithaca and back was pretty brutal.
