Is it better to be "Angular" or "Well-Rounded"?

I just wanted to share my thoughts because I feel there is a common misconception that you have a better chance of admission if you do everything or are “well-rounded”. Think about this…If you are well-rounded you are PRETTY GOOD at this and PRETTY GOOD at that (at best). Colleges especially schools like Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, etc. DO NOT WANT “PRETTY GOOD”. They want an EXPERT, someone who is extremely good at what they do. That’s why I feel it is better to be “angular”. (Also, If you have your hand everything it might make it seem like your doing stuff just to beef up your application, which won’t please the admissions officers).

Anyways, sorry for the yelling lol. Feel free to share your thoughts too
