Kids with high SAT/low GPA

Not all the 4.0’s get accepted, though. After all, the average GPA for top tier schools is usually around 3.8 or so, so for every admit with a 4.0 there is one with a 3.6.

Plus, many people go to very crappy schools where 4.0’s and being ranked 1/5000 means nothing.

(The better schools don’t rank. ;))
