Lowest weighted/ unweighted Ivy League Acceptance stories

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know of kids who has been accepted at the Ivies with GPA which seemed low?

My ds is good, goes to a magnet school, in the base school Track, thats about it.

This is a curiosity - I have no expectations just wondering.

Is the 3.6 unweighted?

Yes--URMS, recruited athletes, very wealthy legacies.

Magnet kids that get into Ivies generally have close to 4.0 GPA with highest vigor classes.
Sometimes exceptions happen for unusually strong extra-curriculars, but this does not appear to be the case.

A kid from our school got into Princeton with a 2.94 and 1450. I assume it was an athletic recruit. Another athletic recruit got in with a 3.58 and 1260.

A 3.4 and a famous parent will get you into Brown.

My daughter’s friend just got into Yale this fall with a 3.7UW and 1440. Some over the top ECs, though.

Not without a significant hook, OP. The accepted dots in the lower left quadrant of the scattergrams can be thrown right out.

OP the answers you're getting here are mostly made up nonsense. These people don't know the scores of every student in their kid's school.
