[quote=Anonymous][quote](And really, academics as a primary extracurricular activity? That is just not what colleges are looking for. Colleges want kids who can be high achievers while engaging in non-academic extracurriculars and contributing to their community. [b]They want kids like my young relative who has 750+ on each section of the SAT, well over 4.0 at a selective public magnet while playing a varsity sport every season and engaging in community service year round.[/b] They want kids who can get the grades and the scores without spending every waking second on academics and who will be a contributor, not just a taker, on campus at their school. No one is scared of the kid for whom academics is the primary extracurricular activity because they know that colleges are looking for much more than academics in their applicants.)[/quote]

Sounds like you are saying colleges want your genotype and phenotype.  Why not simply send in your buccal smear, thumb print, your dental mold, and a screen of your retina with the College application!
What happened to you?  Sounds like you went to community college.[/quote]
