[quote=Anonymous]EC activity is oversold by private college admissions counselors because it is the one thing a kid can have more control over than their academics. While some schools say they have a formula and 'all things are considered' at many of the top schools is academics, academics, academics, then all the other stuff. And while "every kid has a 4.0" academics means much more than just that. Did they take the hardest classes offered at their school (the universities know what those are). Did they talk all the AP classes they could? Did they do independent academic work? Publish or research? How do they rank amongst their peers. Basically, not all 4.0 are the same academically.
