Original Poster here: Its not easy to make such a list.  Why make such a comment?  The SAT is high IVY HYPMS.  The GPA is low top 25.  So please have something to offer or move along.

DC is open to all college experiences. [/quote]

I am not being snarky, but have DC read this book over the summer and start making their own list. [/quote]

Theyve read all the guidebooks.  Weve met with the college counselor.  Its difficult when the GPA doesnt match the SAT.  So Im asking the board - any other anecdotes of high SAT and great but not top 1% GPA - outcomes with Top 10 schools.  Is that worth the time.  Assume no other hooks.[/quote]

My child with similar stats went big state U because of  the free ride and personality match.  Did not even try for competitive schools-went for scholarship money. We appreciated this and respect the smart decision to enter law school in a few years debt free. [/quote]

My DC with 3.7 and 34 ACT from top private was rejected from UVA, UMCP and WL/rejected from Ohio State.  [b]It is really hard when you don't have the weighted GPA. [/b] They did get into all of the privates, even reaches and some big merit packages on the targets/safeties.

They could have gotten full ride at some OOS, but none they were interested in.  [/quote]

It can be hard at schools that don't have the staff to perform truly holistic admissions (see Ohio State, where they flat-out tell you that during campus visits). [/quote]
