[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Original Poster here. Its all over the map. Not a humble brag at all. GPA puts DC in the top 25% of class. Not top 10. So it makes things hard to gauge. Wants a liberal arts major. Not STEM."

Describe course rigor.

Where does the 3.65 come from?  Is every math class a B or more like all classes are A- or random Bs or is there a D with mostly As?

If DC's only issues come from say math but they still have a 780 then HYPS are all in the game.

Ditto if the 3.65 comes from a horrible battle causing a year long D with one teacher.

If DC has never gotten the highest grade in any class they have ever taken but grinds out A minuses and overprepped the SAT then HYPS are unlikely.[/quote]

Aren't HPYS-type schools highly unlikely for this kid regardless?  If the kid has no hooks and good, but not amazing ECs (as seems to be the case if club leadership positions are the primary ones) it is not clear to me why any top 10 school would be realistic even for a kid with good grades at a top HS.  There are thousands of kids across the country with almost perfect SATs or ACTs.[/quote]
