Dramatic!
Judging people merely bases on the schools they got into, Emm? Just too insightful?
What college admissions look at: GPA, SAT, ECs, Essays
Honestly i will say that i don’t do ECs at all because i don’t think that they deserve my time. Some people do ECs (mostly major related, career related, for example a few stern kids) in a significant way. Others? Wow, i don’t think so. ECs are done not to impress people or colleges, but for a genuine reason, a purpose (internal motivation). If the colleges didn’t grasp this notion? I am sorry, that school doesn’t worth my attending.
Well performance on SAT sometimes correlates with intelligence, vise versa. But such intelligence is so limited in its applicability. I assume that a small portion of stern kids can get extremely successful in their careers ahead, but others? Not really.
The lack of performance you guys talked about only reflects a college perspective, which is one with a flawed and biased nature. Partly the reason for such fix view of college admission comes from the American culture itself. So to judge a person based on LSP/STERN/CAS? Stupid enough. You can feel smug; that’s your choice. But don’t degrade or deny others’ potential or intrinsic qualities that can be 100 times greater than yours.
