Every year when April rolls around, if you are a teenager or live with one, invariably the talk is about college. Who got in where? And if you know a student who earned a rare and coveted spots in the most competitive colleges in the land, you ask, “What makes them a unicorn?” The process can feel mysterious and at the same time, crafting a freshman class is nothing short of magical.
