Top Universities Unperdictable ?

Offcourse we all know all competivie schools want the top students to be admitted to there top school right ? and theres other sitiantions when i read that top colleges are highly unperdictable and reject students with perfect SAT's, captain of many teams and clubs play instruments and yadayada the list goes on, and yet they accpet students who dont even sompare to half of that. So i want to hear your opnions about this. and if your among the students who arent ashamed to state you got into your dream school but still have no idea how you got in opposed to the other qualified students please post. Im sure you'll help many other students also.

thanks

Being involved in many different things usually shows a lack of focus and an attempt to game the system. Admisson officers can see through this stuff like its a vacuum.

i think your spelling is way more unpredictable than adComs in top universities.

you must be doing this on purpose.

Well there's well-roundedness, and then there's obvious evidence that one simply couldn't pull off the list of activities given to the adcom.
