[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gymnastics captain
AND Lead Cheerleader 
AND Math team captain 
AND Debate co-captain 
AND Faculty award for top student in HS

In at two of HYP[/quote]

I would have classified these as meh. School activities + captain of a school club + an award that is already evident from the transcript/sch profile…

My guess is there was more (like a feeder school).[/quote]

Or applying from bumf--- America.  Or hooked.  Otherwise, it is MEH!, indeed.  HYP gets about 50K apps each of this (and more) profile kid.  [/quote]

The faculty award may be meaningful.  If the college knows the high school and knows the award it could signify an exceptional student and might signify the student has outstanding LORs.   The colleges are familiar with specific high schools and what is involved for high performance at a specific high School.

You act as if there aren't some students that have high ability that are desired by top colleges.  That is not the case.   Students are competing for colleges and colleges are also competing for students.
