<p>Rarely is a student fortunate enough to choose between Amherst, Williams, and Wesleyan. I assume here that he has all the requisite grades, ECs, recommendations, test scores to meet the high bar that these schools set. Next year, if he is fortunate enough to have been accepted at any or all three of the schools, then he can go down that road. Right now, it would not be prudent to focus on one school; he may end up with a broken heart and dashed hopes.</p>
