<p>Hi all,
Between me and my friend, I wanted to know who would have a better chance of getting to a selective college.
My friend does almost all of the clubs and activities offered at my school. She does fencing, forensics, cheerleading, tutoring committee (head), dance team, key club, compassion intl, literary magazine, science cub, you name it.
For me, I have three focuses: service (i recently made a club), choir/singing (acapella, choir), and publications (news writing, editor, yearbook). I also did cheer as well.
My friend has a slightly higher gpa (3.9ish) than mine (3.8)
Based on our specs, who do you think would have better chances of getting into a selective school?
Thanks! </p>
<p>Depends on other factors such as test scores, personal circumstances, recommendations, and essays. Plus university applications have a limit on how many extracurricular activities one can list. </p>
<p>For top schools, there is no magic formula. There just isn’t.</p>
