Yes Bronfman admission is much like College admission things like diversity, connections, etc play a part. Like I said before I am sure Bronfman cohorts are all amazing but I am sure there are many amazing Bronfman “rejects” who are just as amazing. I am glad for my son he had the experience of rejections prior to college application year I am a fan of recommending putting a “big fishnet out there” to “catch some fish” maybe not all but some. So recommended to him to apply to many precollege free competitive programs and not count on Bronfman. Lucky for me he did and now into two amazing free comp programs including notre dame leadership(yes they wanted jewish kids) and also Williams math camp one of the best liberal arts college in the country.
