<p>Neato Burrito, I absolutely loved this quote from you! Thank you ! I intend to share this with my son when letters come out.</p>
<p>Quote from Neatoburrito: “I have tried to instill in my son that these schools are in the enviable position of hand picking their students from the very best. Convincing them that he is one of the very best via the entire application package is all that he can do. Just because someone wants Cherry Garcia doesn’t mean that Chunky Monkey isn’t just as good and sometimes the vanilla is just the rich creaminess that you want to go with the fresh strawberries that you already have. I don’t know if the Ben and Jerry’s analogy will work for your son, but it helped mine understand that beyond proving you are a nice kid with something to offer beyond an above average intellect is about all you can do. You’re top shelf ice cream regardless of whether school A wanted you or not. There are a lot of flavors out there…equally ultra-premium.”</p>
