“You need good grades and SATs, but those aloneOct 01 2002Biology
You need good grades and SATs, but those alone won't get you very far. Rather than going for sheer volume of activities in high school, find something either really interesting or something that you're really good at, and concentrate on that... it will make you stand out more than the person who was in every club at your school.
