Glad to hear this as someone with a kid with a similar profile.

Nice. That is a great result coming from J-R.

No, not in recent years. The kids i know with 3.8 unweighted are not getting into top50 schools. I know a ton of kids with 4.3+ unweighted who only got into Wisconsin, etc despite applying all over the place.

“4.3+ unweighted” is not a thing?
