believe it or not, harvard rejects 50% of applicants WITH perfect SATs and 4.0 gpas. i know, crazy. but the things that distinguish those admitted and those rejected include involvement/volunteer work/personality/characteristics, etc, because tons of people have the brains to get in, along with the grades to prove it. they like admitting students of all different backgrounds and interests, not just the smartest ones.
