Not exactly. They like different type of students. Based on my public school, CMU admits the top students with perfect scores, competition awards, USCO Goold, etc. Cal Tech like the one involved in deep research. I knew at least 2 students who getting into CalTech with GPA even not in top 10%. But both had good research experiences, publishing paper, attending conferences, etc.

I have a student who has done deep research. Published. Perfect stats. (not a brag. just trying to find them a place that won't deny based off of yield protection or deny because they don't have the awards. Just a hard, hard worker who didn't like comps) Where does that student fit?
