[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard here and in podcasts with AOs themselves, that they treat test scores as a threshold ie, they glance at it, it raises no alarm bells, they move on. Do you think GPA is treated similarly? A kid in top 1% and top 5% at our school is often about if the lower ranked kid took an extra unweighted class like music theory so I find GPA as dicey as test scores, if not more so.[/quote] It depends on the HS, and what else is in the application. From a non-rigorous public, a 3.8uw might = a disgard. From a feeder private, a 3.8uw might mean a closer read. Your HS matters MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.[/quote] Can we sticky this somewhere please, to get the tiger moms off the internet? [/quote]
