[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1490 DS who was a hs senior last year got into two SLACS ranked 5-10, two more in the teens/high 20s (small amount of merit at both) and UVA and W&M. Denied at 2 Ivys (legacy at both, but were known reaches and chose not to ED because these weren’t top choices), waitlisted at another top 10 SLAC (didn’t choose to stay on WL), and into a large solid Midwestern state flagship (merit). Full pay, no hooks, rigorous course load (12 APS with 4a and 5s in the exams, math through BC calc, 4 years foreign language in high school). ECs were strong but nothing remarkable, had summer jobs, attended good NoVa public.  Probably got nice LOR from teachers, who liked him, and wrote good essays.

His results were in line with what he expected and he was very happy with his choices. He is currently enjoying his first year at one of the top 10 SLACs, even with the COVID situation.

That's impressive.  What was his GPA?[/quote]

I’m not sure what he ended up with by graduation. He had mostly As but some B pluses in math/science.  Weighted maybe 4.2, 4.3?  In a school district where APs get 1.0 bump. [/quote]
