[quote=Anonymous]Tests are an important objective cutoff. "GPA is useless" (per the UVA Admissions Dean). There are so many kinds and standards for GPA so as to make it no help. What really does matter is doing better than your high school classmates in the hardest classes in high school, however your high school communicates that (sometimes counselor recs). The most selective schools are looking for some passion and commitment to some other thing; be it academics, sports, experience. They love to see the deep dedication it takes to reach high levels in these endeavors. Forget all the clubs and volunteer hours. Most college bound students do tons of these things and they rarely stand out. [/quote]
