<p>My nephew was accepted for Class of 2016; my 2 brothers went there and 2 other nephews. The one thing they have in common (besides being smart and working hard) is an intellectual curiosity. My nephew (who could probably coast now that he got in) is still getting straight A’s and taking really interesting classes at his school. </p>
<p>My brothers both said they met very interesting people there – a diverse group – not just the 16 year old math whiz but also people who seemed really normal and mainstream then you find out they’ve published a novel. It seems like each person is uniquely accomplished in their own way.</p>
