Not true, there are one or two of you who aren’t but post constantly, one in NYC and the other in the Midwest, likely Chicago. One or two Californians who are less annoying.

Curious.

Our anec-data doesn't matter. As we saw on the endless "I'm worried" thread, not all 3.8s are the same. So who cares where a 3.8 at Philips Exeter or Choate Hall or Georgetown Day or Urban School SF or Menlo School or Brearley NYC or Riverdale Country NY got in if you go to a different type of high school.

GPAs are not an objective number except against classmates in the same school taking the same difficulty of courses.

What region is your school and where did your DC end up?

Say it louder!

Also, not all privates grade the same and not all publics grade the same.

Anyone know about 3.75 1500+ near-maxxed rigor from a top private feeder? They're shooting for a T20.

I'd start a new thread (with major) to get the most hits.

When calculating this are you using only academic core classes like math, science, English, history, foreign language? Thx!

Definitely true. And you see it in the high schools results. Outperforming w/admissions offers at private colleges and under performing with admissions at public colleges.

This is 100% what we see at our private school.

Just ED a top20 except HPYSM, you'll be fine, max rigor+ (past calc BC and physics C or if non-stem, APUSH, AP Lang/Lit)

Cornell/Emory/Vanderbilt/Wash U/USC could be good possibilities

Agree. With those stats I've seen acceptances in these within last 3 years.

Not Vanderbilt this year, but next year is a new story
