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.

I couldn't disagree with more. I spend less than an hour a day on homework and am carrying a 4.0, will probably get 2350+ on the SATs without too much prep. And I still think that ECs or other intangible factors such as race, gender, and location should count for half as much as they do. The capacity for hard work and dedication, I think, is a great talent in itself, and I admire all those who possess it.
