| Thanks for the thread revival. I agree with the idea that "a 4.0, 2300+ SAT, and a slew of extracurriculars" do not make up a guaranteed shot at admission to the top colleges. Each of those elements is a good idea, except perhaps a "slew" of extracurriculars--I think most colleges that regard extracurriculars in the admissions process are looking for depth in one or two extracurriculars rather than a long laundry list of activities. |
