As Ivy League admissions decisions come out this week, we thought it would be a good chance to review what exactly these exclusive universities are looking for.

How did Enin pull off this impressive feat?

My musical haven has shaped my character and without it, my life would not be half as wonderful as it is today," he writes.

Enin eventually chose to attend Yale, where he's a freshman.
