In your experiences, rank the admissions factors (GPA, SAT/ACT, class rank, ECs etc.) colleges look at in order of importance.

Feel free to use some, all, other or a mix of these factors in your ranking: SAT/ACT scores, cumulative GPA, class rank/percentile, reccomendations, SAT IIs, extracurriculars/leadership positions, community service, curriculum, race/ethnicity, legacy, location, religion, and work experience.

I’d go:

GPA
SAT/ACT scores
class rank/percentile
curriculum
recommendations
extracurriculars/leadership positions
community service
legacy
SAT IIs
race/ethnicity
work experience
location
religion
