[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And last year, lots of kids with 4.0s were not invited to interview. So don’t count on a high gpa as getting you through the first hurdle[/quote] This. GPA had [b]very little[/b] to do with who was interviewed. [/quote] Let’s not be too dramatic - GPA had a lot to do with it, but not everything. Teacher recommendations mattered too. My kid personally knows smart kids who were jerks to teachers who didn’t get in. We don’t need to rehash all the imperfections of the admissions when demand is greater than supply, but saying GPA didn’t matter much isn’t accurate. [/quote]
