do some due diligence to determine if your profile is consistent with past admission practices. try searching for schools providing their common data set (W&L provides). then google the naviance high schools which provide their data online without a password or provide a guest password. i think you’ll find that admissions aren’t quirky despite what’s been said. they have a definite profile of the student they want (perhaps that’s what is quirky?), but gpa and sat/act are high(doesn’t seem like you’d have a problem). and name me one school in america that doesn’t make exceptions for very, very,very wealthy kids/celebrities. Never forget that it’s a business. Plan to market yourself.
