My issue with college applications

GPA/Rank

Hello fellow intellectuals of the r/ApplyingToCollege reddit, I am present here to voice my current predicament with the college application process. Being a student of a high educational caliber, receiving an astounding amount of accolades, I am flummoxed as to how I am supposed enter all my awards as to not be overlooked by lesser applicants. I find it superfluous that my application will be placed at the same priority as my peers- as not to gloat about the extraordinary number of APs and college coursework I have taken over the years- placing me in a state of vice. I find it offensive that my unweighted 4.0 GPA (4.8 weighted) will be in the same way processed as to people with messily 3.5 GPAs(or even GPAs below that forsaken number). Even though I realize that colleges cannot play favoritism to their applicants, I think it would be beneficial for colleges to discourage people from applying who, comparatively, lack the compendium of knowledge that I contain. During the application process , I find it hard to believe that they ask little of the awards you earn, only allowing you to enter a few accolades in one application, not allowing me to fit all twenty-three of my accomplished educational merits. As I continue I would like to point out: by what means do they expect me to pursue my higher education goals of being top of my class if they won’t allow me to submit all my merits? I loathe the application to college procedure dearly, as due to the fact it places me on the same level as people who have genetically inferior cognitive function. The priest of my local Catholic church, a person I award for my outlook on the world, reckoned I apply to MENSA, but my lack of leniency for bureaucracy rendered me ill to do so. I do question the methods at which the college selective process is run, as it might leave out educationally and genetically superior people such as myself.
