Based on experience - has anyone had DC admitted to a top 20 school with a 3.5 - 3.6 GPA NO HOOKS?

Anyone have any luck or is this a complete waste of time.
Please no hooks. No First time to college. No recruited athletes. No alumni children. No URM. Normal good students. Please assume top test scores. Think 1500+ |

| Is that GPA unweighted or weighted? |

| Wouldn't it be a negative that the SAT is so high but the GPA is not comparable? |

Unweighted GPA from a top public/private |

| SAT/ACT IS important, too. |

Did I ask for rhetorical questions? No I asked a direct question. Answer that question or move along. |

It helps to read. Says 1500+ on SAT. |

You need to say whether it is public or private. Important. |

| Montgomery County high school with grade inflation? Big 3 with grade deflation? Something in the middle? |

How is 3.6 not a high GPA? |

That is not helpful and without it no one can answer your question without just guessing. |

For a top 20 school, it is not. |

None of my son's friends who looked like that wound up at a top 20 school. Even if the 3.6 is UW.
