i understand that scores aren’t everything. but if you do have the perfect score, what kind of EC’s would be required to get you in the game? i scored a 2400 and volunteer a lot, play a few instruments, have a few leadership positions, 4.0, 5 honor societies…but i don’t have any awards, i’ve never placed in any competitions, received any kind of acknowledgment…is that still too weak?



According to CC, you are just another “average” applicant.

According to what I’ve witnessed, you will most likely have to choose between top schools you are accepted by. Simply put, there really aren’t that many extraordinary kids out there that CC loves to laud. Even HYPSM will fill the other spots with your so-called typical overachievers (as if a 2400 or even a 2300+ is typical). I’ll be shocked if you aren’t accepted by a top school, unless you fail to apply to more than 2-3.
