[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1550 is not considered high.[/quote] Ffs, of course it is. No school cares about 1600 vs. 1550 SAT or 36 vs. 35 ACT. High test scores are just a baseline. Elite schools care about max rigor, GPA, ECs, essays, and recs, within the larger frame of institutional priorities (athletes, geographic and ethnic diversity etc.). Pursuing a less saturated major is a big plus. Loads of high-achieving kids in CS/engineering shut out of T-10. Critically important is how you compare to your class. DC was at a magnet filled with high stats kids. Top 5% (known due to Governor's award) but, unhooked, did not feel their ECs and narrative were quite strong enough for HYPS and not enamored of any other T-10s. ED'd to a WASP and very happy. I will say a 4.5 would not have been close to top 5% at their school. DC graduated with a 4.97 weighted. [/quote]
