<p>Grades?
GPA?
EC’s?
Legacy?
Visits?</p>
<p>I really want to go here!!</p>
<p>Not visits, I never went there till after I was accepted. :D</p>
<p>Post your stats first before saying something like that. If you're overqualified, then obviously you won't be rejected/waitlisted just because you didn't visit.</p>
<p>i think having a great essay is really important.. i didnt have outstanding sats or grades, but my essay was great!</p>
<p>i agree, i think they also like to see enthusiasm, send photos of you doing your hook or something of the like...i sent photos, as well as my comments which at my school are a large paragraph and pretty detailed. Luckily they were for the most part good and i think that all this helped to provide a face to the admission people</p>
