<p>As you can see, these people are very much alike in their activities, etc. Consider them friendly rivals. But who is the better candidate? Why? How much better is the other person?</p>
<p>If both were to apply to:
Middlebury
Bowdoin
Tufts
Harvard
Brown
Cornell
Dartmouth
... who would make it in? Both? None? Only one? They are both applying to same places, and more.</p>
<p>Please give me a good analysis. Thanks!</p>
