What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Many admits who posted had steady leadership in one or two activities, like theatre, band, robotics, a club president or a team captain.
- A large share of admits worked or volunteered regularly, such as shift jobs, hospital or community volunteering, or caregiving.
- Many admits were varsity athletes or long-time musicians, often holding captain or section-leader roles.
- Of admits who named a round, most applied Early Action (4 of 6); the rest applied Regular Decision.
- Admits posted GPAs from about 3.1 to 4.0, so strong grades below 3.5 still led to acceptance for several.
