Triple Qualified w/ Nomination

[MemberLG]

It is interesting, how the more well rounded applicant fairs better. Its not the best. This is why you must get a 3Q'd with an nom. Not many other schools look for this type of foundation. Some of the Ivy leagues go for the highest SAT and ACT score. SA looks for diversity, not just color.


Push Hard, Press Forward

"well rounded' is a relative term. My personal opinion with 8+ years of FFR is that the academic is the most important thing, not being well rounded. Simply the whole candidate score is divided into 60% academic, 30% leadership, and 10% physical. So, even if you max your CFA, you are only going to max your 10%. Regardless how many varisty sports or thousands of hours of community service you do, only going to max your 10%. So my general advice to candidates are good extracircular activities and sports are concentrate on your academic (i.e. instead of participating another club, study).
