[quote=Anonymous]Here's how it works. Admissions tags the front of your kids' files with two figures: test scores and GPA, noting high school/weighted, not weighted. Each file gets no more than 6 minutes of attention at a SLAC. If the GPA and test score isn't sufficiently high, they move it into the "reject" pile. Usually two or three officers read each application just in case someone has missed something (2 min. per file x 3). Your goal is to get your kid to the point where they even open the file and find out your son has great letters of rec., or is something the college would like to have on its campus due to something disclosed in letters of rec. and personal essays.
