<p>Do they care about out of school activities or do they only pay attention to grades?</p>
<p>they care more for e.c.'s than grades. however, if you have crappy grades you won’t get in.
i know of someone who had a 4.6 gpa and 2280, barely any e.c.'s. got rejected.</p>
<p>ok thanks. Because I hope something big will be happening outside of school. Thanks!</p>
<p>My friend with a 4.8 and 2400 and a varsity athlete and member of NHS and CSF with oodles of APs got rejected. And I met another guy with a 3.2 and sub-2000 and few ECs with a tough life family life who got in! So that’s why predicting who’ll get in and who won’t is tough. Yeah it’s holistic, just not in any super-predictable way.</p>
<p>Bull.</p>
<p>60% of ELC students between berkeley and la are accepted, 98% rank in the top 10% of their respective classes.</p>
<p>not saying ECs aren’t significant but if you’re saying they’re above grades, i’ll call BS on that all day.</p>

<p>OK. If that were the case, what happened to the other 40%. Why aren’t their numbers for ELC as high as schools like SB and Davis (90s)? That just shows that they are more than just numbers.</p>
<p>People with stats that high are probably rejected for yield protection.</p>
