Turns out, there is no formula. There is only what we refer to as "the match." Admissions is really always about the match ...<br>
above all else, character matters. How you live your life, the fact that you live your <em>own</em> life and not the life of your parents or friends, the fact that you are awake and thinking and fully involved in your life - that is what matters to us.

<p>The "match" is described in Marilee Jones' recent letter. Definitely worth reading.</p>
