[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My concern is they already have interest in a few colleges (Purdue, West Point, GA Tech). All unlikely unless they're straight A students.[/quote] They don't need straight A's, a few B's in rigorous classes are okay (especially in 9/10th grade). Look at the CDS reports for those schools. The mean unweighted GPA is not 4.0. Picking the right classes, APs, advanced math classes, etc. are very important. A family member got into GA Tech OOS last year for engineering with a 3.85 uw GPA, +1500 test scores, and strong ECs. Also, major matters for schools like Purdue and GA Tech. Are they interested in CS? If so, then maintaining a high GPA is essential. But even 4.0 students will be rejected because CS is super competitive. [/quote]
