…there may be a place for you at a top school if your references and essays match your grades and your test scores. But I have to agree with lebedev – the top schools have no shortage of academically brilliant people. The top schools try to assemble an incoming class where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Do you have any interests/passions that take you beyond the classroom?
