Aside from "success", it is very reasonable to want to admit "well-rounded" or "balanced" individuals as net pluses to society.

I heard the lack of balance in the Bay Area: "wierdos, tech bros, etc.". A geek can contribute either very positively or very negatively to society (ex: tech CEOs, unabomber, etc.),

Maybe too young to judge at university admissions, but still a reasonable proxy (another topic).

But a massive number of the bay area "weirdos" seem to come from elite schools; or is my frame of reference not representative?

Maybe is just the concentration of technical talent (usually introverts, home buddies), whom put less emphasis on social skills.
