How I got into a competitive school with a 1410 SAT and weak ECs

@angryeggo BU right? Not that hard to figure out looking at your post history. Congrats.

The reason this thread caught my eye was my S19 also had a 1410 SAT (780M, 630V) and got into an OOS school with ~18% acceptance this year (GaTech). He was similar with a very high GPA (3.98u/4.6w) but also heavy on difficult STEM course rigor that helped make up for his lower verbal score. His ECs were pretty good too but except for a NASA research mentorship, they were all non STEM related.
