“I think Olin looks at an applicant holistically to understand what type of a person they are. Rather than letting numbers and letters speak to them, they allow the personality behind the transcripts and scores to present a case.”

And I know its a bit late, but if anyone reads this before applying next year, I really think that they should consider that, because I had score a lot lower than some of those people who were wait listed or rejected and my essays weren’t that great, and compared to some of the people who listed their ECs, mine are very average, but I still got in to CW2.
my stats are probably below average; I am definitely not in the top % of my class, I’ve had my fair share of Bs to taint my GPA, given I have taken a lot of APs, its not that many, and my sats leave a lot to be desired.

I didn’t think i would get to even CW, but Olin seems to take a lot more than just your stats into account, so if anyone who doesn’t have stellar grades looks at this in a year and is thinking about considering Olin, they should seriously give it a shot. I mean you never know.
