2400 SAT/36 ACT and Salutatorian rejected at HYPS?

<p>Once in a while I read these topics and my confidence gets shattered :smiley:
I know her problem. Colleges are looking for … enthusiastic students, and as drexter said, with so many club activities she can hardly devote herself to any. Still, her scores are admirable, and as proof she still got accepted to top colleges. </p>

<p>Contrary to her I only concentrate on one or two activities, which can be my strength but also weekness. How many activites, of the 10 allowed on commonapp, should I at least have so that the admission officers won’t question:‘does this guy actually do anything else?’</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>
