<p>I think that much of the recent discussions about applicants with “sharp angles” as opposed to well-rounded students is because the perception for so long has been that the successful applicant to the top-ranked schools had to be that well-rounded student who excelled at everything. Now there is the assertion by very selective schools that they are also interested in the applicant with a single strong passion.This was news and much discussed.</p>
