Notes on Application

College applications are holistic - essays, teacher recommendations, and extracurriculars matter beyond test scores and GPA

Exceptional scores and GPAs are not sole determinants for admission to top universities

College admissions process is highly random and not entirely fair, influenced by various individual circumstances
