softs matter at the margins, it's the exception, not the rule
you have now replaced johann as the worst on-topics poster
my point, fairly obviously, was that admissions are largely numbers-driven, and refuting hard data on anecdotes and outliers is a disservice to everyone unfortunate enough to read and believe your bullshit
in no way is op a "borderline" case. he has no softs that will cause him to significantly outperform his numbers.
the spreadsheet you linked to has a single entry with a 167 and a 3.1; the other data points have a higher gpa
it is the mark of a true imbecile to attack conclusions formed from hundreds of data points, and then use anecdotes, outliers, and special snowflake-ism in an attempt to trick unsuspecting 0Ls
