Hi all,
I wanted to request your help in discerning what kinds of things seem to help students get into some of the very selective schools, specifically...Chicago, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard all come to mind... I am not optimistic about Harvard at all, but include it because in my heart of hearts I'm very interested in some of their faculty.
I already know things like a rigorous schedule with good performance, *letters of rec*, figure in. But my question is what might make the final cut into some of these schools [anticipating the answer might vary among them], in your experiences.
