<p>A lot of problems in life are like that. One approach is to pull numbers out of a hat and develop a "proof" that proves nothing about the real world, and another approach is to embrace the uncertainty and face life with a spirit of adventure and willingness to be surprised.</p>

<p>Kind of have to agree with this guy above...How on earth would you quantify Essays/Reccs/Interviews and there is no SERIOUS way quantify ECs and stuff...I mean you probably could...but the math is not THIS simple...If it the colleges might as well give you a calculator and let you work it out on your own...</p>
