There have been lots of discussions going on about this.
BWRK = Bright, Well Rounded Kid
The term is used in a rather disparaging manner when talking about applicants to uber-selective top schools, such as (but not restricted to) Harvard, Yale or Princeton. BWRKs are not URMs, they did not win any Nobel Prizes, are not legacies, nor are they recruited athletes or the children of famous parents. Besides that, BWRKs are great people.
