I'm not sure that's true.

i'm not saying that what i said is completely true. it's true of my experience that "more often than not, the kids who get the best test scores, have great grades, etc. are not the students who are most capable of making a difference." i'm pretty sure there are kids like your daughter's classmates who are the perfect total package (perfect test scores, genuine ECs, good leaders, etc.), i just haven't come across any.

And yes, some kids do hard work on test prep and studying to get the same grades and scores. I suspect often these are the kids that find it terribly unfair that EC, essays, or anything else count at all.

couldn't agree with you more. it seems as though a lot of kids on CC would fit under this category.
