Don’t know what they call the candidates who are bright but not well rounded.

According to Rachel Toor’s book: “We look for well-rounded kids, but we also look for ‘well-lopsided’ kids. If all you do is music–you don’t do sports, you don’t do community service, you don’t do student government, you just do music—that’s fine. We’re trying to create a well-balanced class, that consists both of well-rounded people and of those who are more focused. We look for impact and commitment…”

And I also agree with jamimom–it helps if you happen to be committed to the particular sport or musical instrument or science research that the school is actively seeking that year.
