What's more important?

<p>Does the UC system put more emphasis on GPA and SAT than extra curriculars? Also, what is the most important part of the application for private schools like stanford and pomona?</p>

<p>UCs do tend to give a lot of weight to GPA in particular.</p>

<p>For elite schools, there isn’t a most important part. Everything has to be in order to get accepted- great scores, great GPA, great rank, great extra curriculars and experiences.</p>
