I was waitlisted this year at CRH, and I want to know what kind of students are “valued” at CRH (such as an artist, viola player, sports person, high GPA, etc.) I am well aware that only AO may know, but if any current students could give some insight on what kind of students teachers want, that would be great.
As you note, only an AO will know. And what a teacher wants does not always align with what the school wants/needs.
Just a guess, but based on the team’s dismal record over the last few seasons, I would say Varsity Hockey players. That said, the JV Hockey team has been decent.
Based on the kids I know personally who got in I’d say they are trying to build girls soccer.
The OP’s question reminds me of this saying: "He who says does not know… and he who knows does not say… "
Teachers always enjoy bright, interested, engaging students. Be one of those and do not try to craft a profile based on what you think a school wants. Be what you are and search for schools that feel like home to you.
