<p>Look at your application through the eyes of an admissions officer at a prestigious college. Fantastic scores and very good academics, with very little extra-curricular involvement. Now, think of an application you could potentially be compared to: 2310 SAT, a few 760-780 SAT 2s, top 5 in the class, state debate champion, national qualifier for mock trial, class president, and various other competitions and leadership positions. Who would you accept? While this person’s scores are obviously inferior to yours (though not my much), their ECs easily convey a passion for debate and law that far exceed what you have shown with yours. </p>
<p>Do you see why your activities outside of school are essential? They show admissions officers what you want to pursue with your life and college education. Try to raise the bar with your ECs, as well as write some compelling essays, and you’ll have a great shot at all the schools you listed.</p>
