Applying to top-tier colleges

<p>I would suggest that you endeavor to show the AdComs just WHO you are and why they MUST admit you instead of others with similar credentials: not everyone can author a book, qualify for the Olympics, or start a Model U.N. chapter that wins coveted prizes in the first year of competition, for example. The key to admission to the elites is to stand out. Don’t tell CC what your unique quality is; keep it to yourself and for the AdComs!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
