With twenty applicants our job was very tough this year. How do you whittle down the list from the highly intelligent and talented pool of teens who will undoubtedly go on to do great things in the years to come? It wasn’t easy and we take the decision-making very seriously. We wish all of our applicants the very best as they enter their college careers.
