2370=2400
780s=800s
rank 3 = valedictorian
courseload is nearly the same (the minute difference shouldn’t play too big a role)

The only thing that I can see is that applicant 1 tried to “build” his resumee for an elite college (African kids/trying to be the leader of everything/ trying to volunteer). Though it certainly does look good, it may bite you in the ass later, cause some colleges wants someone with passions, not someone who does things to look good.

Overall though, if one (if that) were going to get in (and who knows, maybe both will, they certainly are both very competitive), it would come down to recs and essays, and to who the admissions committee got a “warm, fuzzy” feeling from.
