[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest predictor will be your particular high school. High stats, strong recs, impressive EC's and awards will help, but I think the differentiator is being able to show personal qualities that have been proven over time that you will be a large producer on campus and beyond. It does them no good to have a bunch of brains that never leave their dorm rooms, they want movers and shakers and contributors. It doesn't have to mean extroverted, it just means thoroughly engaged.[/quote]

I think this is so understated on this board at times. Schools really do dig deep and want to see kids that will succeed in life not just in college.  Is this kid gonna go out and the world and be a go getter? They know GPA and ACT alone don't tell this whole story. EC's are so important. That's why you see stats for admits all over the place.

So true. And the way a teacher talks about the kid.
Is it the kid who always helps the teacher out, weighs in, is there for more than a grade......
Matters more than you think.[/quote]
