[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not an either/or question. They can “reach big” as long as they identify targets and safeties that they also like. My humanities kid has a 4.0 uw with 10 APs, top 7% of class, TO. Has gotten into a top 30 LAC (target) with top merit and a few 50%+ admit rate state schools with top merit or honors. Rejected from two top 25 universities, still waiting on a few top 20 SLACs (all of them varying degrees of reaches).[/quote] I am new to this with a junior as well. Wouldn’t 4.0 uw mean top 1% of class and valedictorian? I mean, there is no better gpa than perfect. [/quote] No. A 4.0 unweighted means no grade lower than A in all of HS (about 5% of the kids graduate with an unweighted 4.0). Rank is based on weighted GPA, so how many AP classes you take has a huge effect. All of the kids ahead of mine have taken more than 10 APs.[/quote]
