[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will tell you I think it was the deciding factor for my DC not getting into SJC last year. Scores were not quite in the 90's with a 4.0 public school GPA. It is becoming very competitive for admission to these schools. [/quote] Did SJC tell you that was the deciding factor? My oldest, who went to public school thought 8th grade, but is now in an independent HS, had great scores, except for verbal. When I asked a friend with knowledge of admissions what committees would think about his low verbal score, she said "public school kid". [/quote] They didn't but with the number of applications they are receiving for the number of spots in the Freshman class, I can't help but think that this was otherwise the only not strong aspect of the application. Speculation, but I think well founded speculation. [/quote]
