[</em>] major strength/weakness: Strength: probably his academic rigor first and foremost. Weakness: His SAT II’s which is why he didn’t submit! Plus, an inability to toot his own horn, somewhat necessary evil in college admissions. Thankfully, his teachers must have done it for him per the note from Gary Ross. :)</p>
<p>[/ul]Other Factors:
He really gave that supplemental essay a lot of thought. And if I were really honest, I think his being a boy helped too.</p>
