Chance this lopsided student

I’ve always wondered: is it preferable, from an admissions counselor’s point of view, to have someone well-rounded, or, really good in one subject? So jack-of-all-trades/master of none, or specialized scholar?

For example, would you rather see a 2100 SAT with 700s in each category, or a 2100 with two 800s and a 500?

Similarly, which is better - a B average or an even split between C’s and A’s?

Just an interesting thing to consider.
