We are somewhat dealing (a year early) with college requirements. She is right about needing a ton of extracurricular activities. (sounds like she had a part time job and didn’t have the time to bulk up on these). Her weighted GPA was a 4.5 which isn’t bad at all. I didn’t see her SAT/ACT scores. Use to be that a college looked at the GPA/SAT for acceptance... it isn’t that way anymore. You need those and belong to a lot of clubs.

Looking up her name on the net it looks like she’s already taking a lot of heat for everything from having a Jewish name to expecting white privilege.

Some schools have automatic admission with good grades and a good SAT/ACT.

My son did lots in high school, and got into all of the UC’s he applied to. However, he ended up at Texas A&M where he was an automatic admit. He could have relaxed in high school if he knew that was the college he was going to.
