turtletime, not sure who you think is making assumptions or what those assumptions are. My introverted kid got into U of Chicago, Swarthmore, and Harvey Mudd… it certainly is true that a lot of introverts are intellectually gifted, and I do think at least some top colleges appreciate that and can see past the “flashier” extrovert candidates to a kid like that. You are right about packaging those traits in the application, though, so they are visible.
