Most Important: GPA, SSAT, Essays, EC, Recs?

<p>As the aforementioned child, I don’t feel like I’ve “missed” anything about being a teenager. I think I have an impression application and I’m praying to cookies that I get accepted, but I still do teenager-isk things. I stayed out at a friend’s house on New Year’s Eve and had to rush back before my parents got home. I’ve drank a little here and there. I play video games (it’s actually one of the things I put on my app cause I play competitively). I have a girlfriend and she’s my first love. Part of selecting the best applicants is selecting humans. Not robots with achievements. I think my hook is that I’m the board member for the American Association of Buddhist Education and my competitive video gaming. It’s unorthodox and I’m passionate about it. I play varsity tennis as well and I won a few art awards, and I take high level classes, but I’d consider the gaming and volunteer work my “hook”.</p>
