All three are very competitive students and will all fit in to different schools ( all top colleges). Are the three students friends or are you trying to get an idea? Student B in my opinion is strongest all around due to the high SAT and the upward trend in the GPA. Student C looks as if the curriculum was too easy and didn’t learn enough to do as well on the SAT.

In my opinion candidate B is the best of the three.

He has an upward trend from his freshman up to junior year unlike candidate A, who had a downward trend. While candidate A has had a slightly more rigorous course load, B seems to find more activities to fill his time with. SAT scores between the two are comparable, as are subject tests. B’s 750 on two of them won’t matter as colleges only assess the top three. A’s ECs are not special while B’s should be quite unique.

Student C is the weakest of the three. His course load seems far more lax and the SATs and subject tests are weaker than both of theirs. Extracurriculars may be the best of the three but that won’t make up the 300 point SAT gap between him and the others.
