[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is where the person comes in in college admissions. My sense is that a kid with those numbers could end up at a US news top 30 school if the 3.8 is from a rigorous high school and they have strong recs, ECs and essay. For safeties I would look at US news 55 - 75 range. [/quote] This poster is wildly optimistic. This was good advice several years back. [/quote] It depends on the high school! A 3.8 GPA is high GPA unweighted. Example of recent matriculations for a top private that doesnt rank: https://www.holton-arms.edu/scholar/college-counseling/matriculation Of those who went to national universities, fewer kids attend ones ranked below 50 than 30 or higher (and same for SLACs). DD did not attend this school but one of similar rigor/reputation. She had good ECs, a 3.8 GPA and took honors all 4 years in all classes. We are professional but not anywhere near Z list type family; she attends Penn. [/quote]
