[quote=Anonymous]Only one thing would have been nice to know. — so that DS (class of 22) could have been spared the time he took to write essays/prepare apps for state schools that he would never get into: you need a blockbuster, AP-enhanced, probably grade-inflated HS GPA to gain admission OOS to the better UCs, Georgia, Florida, Texas and maybe a few others. [Kid had a 3.87 UW from big3 (1570 submitted) and that wasn’t enough. The above named schools can’t / won’t differentiate and the 3.87 looks like the candidate isn’t even trying when compared to 4.7s with 25 APs from a public. ] Michigan knows his HS, so accepts strong kids with high-for-that-HS gpas.
