[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how so many of you can be so flabberghasted that 1600s get rejected.  Colleges have been saying forever that test scores aren't the be all and end all.  [/quote]

But not their special snowflake....Colleges want balanced classes and balanced people.  Perfect scores are not the entire package.[/quote]

Yes, you always need the right color balance. [/quote]

Perfect scores are not the entire package, but usually perfect scores are only earned by students who are the entire package.  The Asian-American students who get 1600 in AT and 4.0 GPA, are also the ones who have impressive credentials, social skills, know several languages, excel in ECs, volunteer records, jobs, internships and placements in competitions.  So lets keep that one fallacy to rest.  A kid who is not shining bright in ECs and Academics will probably not be getting 1600 in SATs.

This is all in your imagination! Perfect scores are NOT usually earned by students who are entire packages. Are you serious? They are the ones who are most clearly academically-inclined  and some of them MAY have excelled at a sport or playing a musical instrument or founded a refugee business (that's the popular one these days). Many of them are 1600s and high GPAs, with random ECs, half-hearted volunteering that is so obviously done to game the system and whose parents create the Save the Refugees and Immigrant businesses.[/quote]
