<p>@brm114341 Obviously, nearly all admits are hardworking and truly deserve their acceptances. But I have read online somewhere that being interested in humanities helps in that the opportunities for humanities kids to explore what they want to study at the HS level is easier. In contrast, those interested in STEM can do research/internship and maybe a club here and there. And with thousands of students applying to STEM, odds are that the majority will have research/club experience. With the humanities, it’s easier to find unique ECs to make you stand out, imho</p>
