obviously your not getting my drift here... people WITH just 4.0 gpa's and 2250+ SATS wont get into ivies... with 10 percent acceptance rates, it takes more than just numbers. And I was saying if the 3.7 guy wanted to pursue those EC's at the college, then they SHOULD choose the 3.7 guy. the 4.0 gpa nerd won't contribute much to the schools atmosphere
not saying they make people nerds, but they are more likely to use their free time studying than sports, clubs..etc this is just what I've seen at my school so I could be off. The past 4 vals at my school all applied to top schools and had 4.0 uw gpa's, most rigorous couseload, 2250+ SATS, academic awards and all 4 have ended up at UC berkeley and UCLA ( number schools) and have been rejected at numerous top schools.. they were straight up nerds as many of their friends told me.
Our last val( according to my school and him):
2320 SAT
4.0 uw gpa with 10 AP classes
his only EC's were:
member of NHS
president of CSF
robotics club
JV tennis
accepted:
all the UC's (he's attending UCSD)
Tufts
rejected:
all ivies, JHU, Duke, Georgetown, Northwestern
and I don't believe someone that gets 2350+ SAT and a 4.0 uw gpa studies for less than 2 hours a day... it doesn't happen... the person that posted earlier on this thread is lying and is a straight up nerd.
high GPA kids always say they never study cause they dont want to come across as nerds... no matter how intelligent you are you can never get a 4.0 uw gpa with a very rigorous course load by studying less than 2 hours a day. Unless you have photographic memory. People say asians are genetically smarter than other races ( I'm South Asian)...it's not true... they just study 5 times more.
