[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When looking at the SAT and GPA ranges of a college's admits, keep in mind that the students at the lower end of that range (the bottom half, perhaps?) probably had some hook that got them in unrelated to their academics (legacy, recruited athlete, etc.). In my experience, the kids who were admitted on the strength of their academics were at the very top of that SAT/GPA range. [/quote] +1. Which is why I'm glad my kids have a legacy shot - and yes, I volunteer and make sizable donations. I've told them I can't get you in with bad grades and bad scores, so you do your part and I'll do mine, but they aren't going to let you in just because I went there if you have crappy grades and SATs.[/quote]
