[quote=Anonymous]The kid who got into the top schools comes out as someone  nice and genuinely interested in the ECs with long term commitment and not just gaming some fancy EC is the last few years of high school for college. That is one of the many things that matter. Colleges try to fill their priorities. That includes some academic superstars- not your 4.0 all 5's in APs, top of class student.- but someone who competes at national international level in math and physics olympiad and does well, for example. These are the academic priorities of the college. Not all of them get in as colleges have other priorities, , sports, orchestra, legacy, unenrolled majors, URM, faculty, genuine  kids who add to college environment. All these kids will have fulfilled the basic minimum in terms of stats (not perfect),  which may be different for different groups, but if they are accepted, they fulfill some of the other college priorities. It is nothing about the kid after the point , it is about what the college is looking for and what they feel they need. [/quote]
