<p>I was just wondering…what are the things that colleges prefer the most?</p>

<p>GPA
SAT
EC
Recommendations
Essay</p>

<p>Out of these five things, can someone tell me what percent weightage colleges give? I am thinking around…</p>

<p>GPA 35%
SAT 25%
EC 20%
Recommendations 10%
Essay 10%</p>

<p>I am thinking of universities like:</p>

<p>carnegie
duke
cornell
northwestern
rice
johns hopkins
yale
upenn</p>

<p>are my percentages anywhere near the reality?</p>

<p>The process is more holistic than that. You cannot assign point values to the different elements that make up your application.</p>
