They dont care about anything but SAT score and GPA. I emailed the head of the department I was interested in and got a scholarship.

If you have a somewhat decent GPA and test scores, you're in. They couldn't care less about the essays/extracurriculars.

Don't work too hard/get a lot of IB/AP credit. it is a waste of your time.

They only care about your GPA and SAT scores, they have an optional short personal paragraph section which you SHOULD use since that is probably how I got in 2006. I had decent grades and good SAT scores but not the 3.8 average.
