[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From several threads this week, [b]it seems GPA is more important than rigor at ivy league schools.[/b]  Below a certain gpa, ivy league schools become impossible no matter the rigor.

Outside ivy leagues, is there any t20 school that is more willing to take a high rigor (multi variable and a bunch of other high level science courses) but rank outside top 10% ( but still top 20, 30%, etc).  What if they have 1580-1600 scores to validate?

Or do you think this type should focus on state flagships instead?  [/quote]

Not at all true from our private or the neighboring private where we have access to SCOIR and know many kids and families. Ivies want both top rigor and top GPA unhooked, usually top3-5% especially if it is RD, minimally top10% plus all have to have very top rigor if unhooked. Hooked kids do not need top rigor for ivies, nor top rank. It is a different game for hooked kids.  The only ivy that takes unhooked outside top10% rank is Cornell and those kids all have top rigor in all areas if they get in with a below 10% GPA. They also have been males.  [/quote]
