[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are still not able to comprehend that with a [b]mid-year GPA from TJ 4.4X[/b], SAT close to 1600, very good ECs, my child got rejected from all Ivies applied, waitlisted in a few T20 schools mostly private and UVA. We are trying to understand what went wrong. Really bothering us for the last couple of months how this can happen with this profile. Was GPA too low?. Did rigor matter at all?. They take the hardest courses but kids from other schools get into T20 schools with less grade or rigor.[/quote]

What does this mean? Is 4.4 the weighted GPA in mid-year senior year? What was the rigor (course selection in 11th and 10th) and what was GPA?

Which Ivies did you apply to? If you only applied to HYP, you can't say you are confused why you got rejected by "all Ivies applied".[/quote]

I wondered this too. What exactly was the overall GPA? Because I believe GPA does matter a ton. Plus being the top among the kids from your school applying there. DS got unlucky last year that the top kids wanted Duke (this isn’t TJ). I have a senior now and can tell in Scoir he had a way better shot this year, and his stats would have been the top kid. Last year he wasn’t and the kids in the better part of the scattergram got in. [/quote]
