You can, but A* for most of your subjects is like minimum requirement to get in
Focus on 1 area of interest for extra curriculars, and implement whatever you learn into the betterment of society

cure cancer and win a nobel prize while making a perfect replica of the mona lisa with some improvements
this should bump your chances to about 4% if you are the only one applying

You don't need money for that, imagine played on the school basketball team. So you'd teach basketball to kids who can't go to classes since they can't pay for it

no
yes? that is what I have seen with my seniors and ppl on internet
most top unis would never accept a well rounded student, most admits have very good accomplishments in 1 specific field which they base their EC's on
uneven mango
not exactly well rounded, but have multiple interests
most of the top universities are interdisciplinary/liberal arts based
u might be okay with public schools
but not privates lol

Hmm, I had a senior who got into harvard for cs. he told me what he thinks he got into harvard was probably him going to stanford for summer school and then using that knowledge in an internship he did for a couple of months where he worked on many projects
uneven mango
#1 summer schools are scams
#2 you dont get in because of going to summer school
#3 he didnt get into harvard for cs, they dont admit by major
tepid hill
im not saying he got in just bc of summer school, he showed interest in the field of study he was applying to by studying it in a college and implementing that knowledge in areas which made strong EC'S
tepid hill
he said it personally felt like it did. idk about the rest of his application
