@Dave_Berry If that is the case, I really wonder how my kid got into Princeton! He had more than one B (I think he had 3 or so throughout high school) though I don’t know about any spelling errors in his essays. No hooks that I know of and he didn’t really play any sports. He was also accepted at Berkeley, Amherst, Bowdoin, UVA and a couple other places. Intriguingly, he was rejected by USC as well as Georgetown.
