[quote=Anonymous]There's still more to the process than that tho. I've been trying to research the admissions process rubric. I agree with the OP to a point - schools definitely have their GPA cutoffs- that is the first pass and you kid is given a rating at that point. And I would say that the GPA has more weight than test scores. However if you are on the edge but have strong ECs and essays and fill a niche the school is looking for it can push you over. Rank may be less important. The other problem is in our area there are thousands of kids that have good grades and solid test scores. What I'm doing with my DD is helping her figure out how to present her ECs and personality. She has the grades to match the schools she is interested in but it is still not a guarantee. Let's face it this is the most obscure process ever and you can rack your brain trying to make sense of it, but I don't think that's possible. [/quote]
