<p>No, that’s certainly not the case. It is my understanding EC’s are REQUIRED for IVY’s, even for the person with a perfect GPA and SAT score. Not surprisingly, they’d rather take an applicant with so-so test scores and GPA with AMAZING extracurriculars rather than a person with no extracurriculars, no matter how great their test scores were. </p>
<p>This is my belief, but forgive me if I’m incorrect :)</p>
