<p>There’s three spots left in a college admit pile. Out of the three candidates who’s most likely to get in. Lets say the school is a ultra elite private school and these three people are outstanding individuals. But you get to be the admission officer and pick. </p>

Found a cure for HIV/AIDS and is researching a cure for cancer<br>
Taught a college class about quantum physics for a week, on the test everyone managed to get above a B+</p>
<p>Out of the three (you can only pick one), who would you admit to your college.</p>
<p>Candidate 3: b/c he/she combines the best of the traits from 1 and 2. I don’t believe college would be necessary for Candidate 1 and that the lack of actual academic proof of intelligence makes me doubtful about admitting the candidate. Furthermore, Candidate’s 1’s ECs have no relevance to college and Candidate 1 would be better off continuing to serve people, instead of going to college.</p>
<p>Candidate 2 is hard-working but not as special as #3. #3 shows much initiative and also has done work that could help many people (has humanitarian attributes).</p>
<p>Jesus vs. smart guy vs. Da Vinci. I vote Jesus, seeing as he has two billion followers and breaks the laws of nature. He beats DaVinci because DaVinci uses him as inspiration, not the other way around. The second guy is comparatively lame.</p>
<p>As previously said (while I was making my post), none of them need college. I’d think the notoriety of having Jesus as an alumnus would be worth it though, even if it were purely honorary.</p>
<p>“Found a cure for HIV/AIDS and is researching a cure for cancer

<p>lol I just skimmed this at first so I thought #3 was just Leonardo da Vinci, but it’s actually a combination of da Vinci/Michelangelo and Apollo</p>
<p>I was between 1 and 3, but, to me, it doesn’t seem like college would help 1 in His (should I capitalize the “H” here?) work. So, 3. The 2nd candidate is just normal.</p>
