[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are starting to look at colleges for DS. He goes to an elite private school in the DC area. While his grades are not that great (3.0 GPA), he has strong extracurriculars and work experience. His school was very challenging and there was a heavy workload. I am assuming that having gone to a strong private school can help with college admissions. What GPA range should we look at for schools? Is there kind of a GPA 'bump' for admissions if you went to a well regarded private school? This was true when I was in school. Got into the Ivy league with a 3.7 GPA. My school was very challenging and grades were not that inflated. Is this still true?[/quote] For SLACs, definitely. Not so much for the large universities, whose admissions folks either have never heard of the Big 3 or don't care, or even hold it against the applicant.[/quote]
