[quote=Anonymous]Rising freshman got in with 2 A-s in English and History. Algebra II Honors. His school had tons of kids with 4.0 who didn’t get in. GPA is worth 300 points. 4.0 = 300 points, 3.9 = 292.5 points, 3.8 = 285 points. That difference is minuscule compared to the PSEs and SPS. The 4 PSEs are worth 300 total points. The one SPS is worth 300 points. Your child really needs to have 4 strong well written SPS essays and a strong PSE essay (preferably with all of the correct answers). Bonus points also help a lot. One experience factor will make a student with a 3.5 have more points than a student with a 4.0. Another thing to consider is what middle school your child is applying from. Some schools have over 100 applicants, some have less than 1.5% of the 8th grade class. Each middle school is guaranteed 1.5% of the 8th grade class as long as the applicants meet the minimum qualifications.[/quote]
