  • The vast majority of the students attending highly selective colleges were in the top ten percent of their graduating class, were active in extracurricular activities, demonstrate leadership potential, scored well on the SAT and SAT-II, and are extremely motivated
  • They typically took many honors or AP classes during high school
  • More importantly, they are passionate about learning and throw themselves heart and soul into one or two activities.
  • about half the students at most of the highly selective universities are minorities or international students
  • The student  needs to take the lead in contacting the school, setting up interviews, etc. Parents are not helping (and can in fact hurt) by trying to do too much.
