Apart from grades, extracurriculars, and test scores, what gets students into top universities? Passion projects?
Out of the people who have been accepted into top colleges, what do they have in common, apart from grades and extracurriculars, that got them in?
- I have heard that it could be some sort of leadership/passion project, what do you know about this?
- I have also heard that winning contests is a big part of this, is this true?
