<p>I think the over-all application should point at a passion in an activity. The Ivies look for someone who would be an “action-student” in campus not just a book nerd who spends studying all the time. It would be better for the school to have someone who shows passion in something(cause that person would have the potential to be great in the real world) than a guy who has the typical background(good grades, nice SATs, ECs here and there, nice essays but no signs of passion).</p>
<p>It all comes down to packaging. The way a student packages himself in front of the adcom.</p>
<p>One favor though, can you chance me? I’m a new member. thanks :)</p>
