<p>“I think people who live outside the U.S., and even people in the U.S. who come from another system, are particularly shocked when high scores and grades do not necessarily bring the best results. This makes the system look unfair to them, and their anger and bitterness can be forgiven.”</p>
<p>That’s true, but I still think this system is for the best. If I get to go to a top-tier college, I don’t want it to be boring; the people shouldn’t all be exactly the same, and they shouldn’t be spending everyday studying. To be honest, I’ve known many people with straight A’s that were completely dull; they didn’t have any conversation topics except school. In comparison, I’ve known many athletes that get involved and are incredibly intelligent. If I were an admissions officer, I would totally want the well rounded person.</p>
