<p>BWRK= bright, well rounded kid, ie. one of those who according to CC lore doesn’t stand much of a chance in elite college admissions. And no, he wasn’t a legacy (well, he was, but not at this particular ivy) - and I made a point of mentioning his essay because it was on subjects that, again according to CC lore, are trite and best avoided: service trip, ill health of friend/family member. In short, college admissions are not an exact science - which I think we all know!</p>
