people always wonder why they get rejected from SCEA Stanford... colleges dont want nerds... the last 4 years at my high school each valedectorian has applied to stanford early and has been rejected with a 2250+ SAT score... they just sit at home and study.

Colleges don't want 4.0 uw 2250+ SAT score nerds...I see a lot of people on this site that are in clubs and EC's JUST to show colleges...

If I was an admissions officer at a top school...I would accept a 3.7 uw GPA 2000 SAT score kid that plays intramural soccer ( not varsity) and volunteers 3 hours weekly than a kid with NO ec's that has a 4.0 uw gpa and 2300+ SAT

nerds rarely get anywhere in life... they mostly major in science/math and make 60K a year out of grad/ugrad school.
