these results do give u prestige and respect and 'Fakhr' but without extra circular activities, they are useless
the current requirements of universities has turned to extra cirriculars
what is the use of getting so many As when u dont how to deal with ur environment. extra circular activities is what teaches u this
there is a wonderful quote i remember here
''Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad''
This proves that one needs both knowledge and wisdom
thus both results and extra circular are required

the impression given by huge number of subjects can be quite negative
if they believe you are unsocial and total nerd then bye bye everything

When Ali Moeen Nawazish was on the interview list, the interviewer thought that he wasn't doing the right thing, because of Ali Moeen's pile of A's that were on the offering but neither did Cambridge care about his extras, itnay sarey A's ke waja sei at least ussay interview ke khwari nahi uthani pari :3

But as LioxMessi said, in US universities.. 25% weight-age is given to A-Level result, 25% to Extra-curricular activities and 50% to SAT result.
So one can get an awesome A-Level result, and a perfect SAT score.. and subsequently get admission in US universities. Even with zero extra-curricular activities.

Right?

Right?

Yes you can, but in that case you won't be getting any scholarship and i hope you are aware of the expense of US universities

The previous record was 13 A's for A-Level.
Ali Moeen Nawazish got 21 A's. He proved himself. Not to mention, all the knowledge he gained.
He got into Cambridge, and now look where he is.
Heck, He has a Wikipedia page named after him. World-Record holder. He's in the Guinness Book, too. A prodigy.

What more would someone want from life?

The question is, can you people get 21 A's in A-Level, if you had this challenge?
How many more people in the world can accomplish such a task?

Not everything in life is about University Applications, and admissions. (Even though, he did get into Cambridge, due to his result)..
Sometimes it's just about trying new things, proving yourself and simply winning.

So now it's settled, we can't really lead to a conclusion of whether it's wise or not to make such World Records because it doesn't really have an advantage when applying to Universities but on the other hand we don't see any disadvantage either. It's fine doing such tragic things as long as it enables you to create history

yeah but since we all unanimously hate history I believe we all are against creating new history too

Just wondering who can possibly be the next record holder

Could you find out who has got the maximum A*s?
And another thing, many of the subjects that these "record-breakers" give are repeated ones, such as they would take combined sciences, additional combined sciences, 21st century sciences etc. along with the 3 normal sciences, this is not allowed in one session so they do multiple, who has taken the maximum UNIQUE subjects?
