No, but extracurriculars don't really prove this either.
The kid working part time to support his family has had it much harder than the kid who's just taken violin clases.
However, I'd say having perfect grades by itself proves both have the right character if you are just defining that as being able to manage time.
Shouldn't college also form character? Or they should try to get students who have that sorted out?

Regardless, so you have two kids with so called perfect scores. One also has a 20hr job, or some other obligation like volunteering work, etc. The other, just went to class and went home. The kid that managed everything else is still equivalent to the other that did nothing?
