post your "qualification" here for the rejected

I don’t think people realize that SAT/AP scores, GPAs, etc. are NOT the main focus of the admissions process. As we hear all the time, you are more than your numbers. Just because you happen to have high numbers and qualifications doesn’t guarantee admission to any college. If anything, it is standing out and being different that I believe produces the greatest impact on admission officers.



What’s your point? I was about as personable and unique as it could get in every part of the process with MIT (moreso than any other school), and I still got flat out rejected. Not even a simple waitlist.
