[quote=Anonymous]FARMS kids reportedly get a big boost, more than double any GPA difference. There is no boost for being in honors geometry or teacher recommendations. There might be a boost for being at a middle school that doesn't send a lot of students, though it was reported that they dropped that to try and win a lawsuit. It would come down to who else is applying from the school for about 10 spots available, who would have to be in at least algebra, with a 3.5 gpa. To beat out these kids, they would have to score 3.5 gpa vs 4.0 for a 37.5 points difference and one less on one of the essays for another 60 points to make up for 90 FARMS. Among those without FARMS boost, it looks like your kid might have a good chance.[/quote]
