Which colleges or independent private (boarding) schools you apply to will be determined by your academic prowess. Referred to in many cases as Academic Qualities: grades, test scores, and rigor of curriculum. And, while your hard work has earned you the right to apply to selective, and in some cases highly selective universities and private high schools, most everyone in those applicant pools have very similar academic qualities. So guess what, your academic achievements ARE NOT what’s going to get you admitted to the school of your dreams.
