A little study on academic index

My first thought after reading that was “well… duh” A college is an academic institution, so of course how well you do in an academic setting is important. And I’d bet that even at those schools where they claim that your personality is important, the AIs for accepted, waitlisted, and rejected students would have a similar distribution. Granted, numbers alone don’t get you in… but unless there’s something REALLY compelling about you (like you won a gold medal at the Olympics or something) I think numbers alone can keep you out.
