<p>for my S...</p>
<p>He idoes not like the chase of admissions, he has done well enough to be competitive at some good places. He has only done what he wants, there is no padding. He is a social person that is very active all the time. I think he would come across as well-grounded in an interview, and pretty sharp overall.</p>
<p>In terms of environment, he is a politically active centrist and an atheist. He would not fit into a heavily greek culture. He wants to be around sharp students, but not necessarily the over-privileged that didn't get into Harvard. He has quirky friends, many of whom are too smart to succeed.</p>

Not in the top 10% of his class, just below
