Colleges like MIT and Caltech expect students to have utilized/maximized opportunities in and outside of school as well. Translation -> a just perfect GPA and SAT score will compare not so well against a student who has couple of Bs , taken the most challenging courses and done well in math/science reserach activities when he or she could avail those opportunities. A near top student ( few Bs and SAT around 2300 ) with these additional qualifications that show passion - something relevant to these schools- is more desirable and sought after than a vanilla student with mere stellar scores.
