In days past, it was the well-rounded students—those who had a hand in nearly everything—who were the sought-after applicants. These days, in contrast, colleges tend to look for students who’ve explored, who’ve identified what they’re good at, who’ve become deeply involved in that activity, and who’ve excelled.

So why do admissions committees look for well-lopsided students? The answer is that unlike a class full of well-rounded students, a group full of well-lopsided students makes an exceptionally interesting, well-rounded class.
