[quote=Anonymous]I know of at least 2 kids who I don’t think of as high GPA (but admit I don’t know details) who got into top 30 schools. No idea on test scores and they were in lots of activities though nothing out of the ordinary. So I think the private school context helped. These kids were not as strong as the average profile for the schools to which they were admitted. I also know of very strong students who got into top 20 schools. On the face their GPAs were probably lower than publics but assuming they were recalculated by admissions office. And I know of strong students who got deferred. Some of it seems to be how many kids apply to various schools and you can’t control who falls in love with where. I would expect it to shake out for these kids come RD. [/quote]
