If the OP is a troll, he's an innocuous troll. So lets's assume he's real. Treat his case as a hypothetical.

baconsalad got it right, in my opinion. High scores and grades are necessary but not sufficient for admission to these schools. Your ECs need to be more than a laundry list.

I don't know why impossibly high scores make him a troll... Obviously a 1525 is odd and the other thread he started is suspect. However, I for example have high grades similar to that of the OP and my school is not a "joke", I just do very well. If you are a true applicant, op, I would suggest to only list the ECs that you really love, put time into, and contribute significantly to. As others have said, if you are a real applicant, your ECs are pretty fabulous but looking alike a laundry list which colleges hate. Just cut it down to the ones you love so passion permeates your application. Otherwise, you have a shot, and as I have said to others, that's all you can really have with top 25/ ivy league admissions.

@Divy,

I'm pretty sure it's not his impossibly high scores that everyone is questioning, it's the 1525. And that does make him a troll.

Unless of course, you realized this, and you were responding just to pat your own back with the whole "I for example have high grades similar to that of the OP" thing.

I'm aware he is a troll. However, I found it a little annoying to see people knocking the student for having high grades at his school. I just happen to see jealous comments like that and it annoys me, I used myself as an example because I am clearly not trolling. Just because stats are high doesn't mean there is an underlying reason for that other than the person is smart/does well in school. People sometimes seem to disparage poster's accomplishments a little too often. So, yes I know his 1525 is more than suspect to assume trolling but was not "padding myself on the back" either.
