[quote=Anonymous][quote]Not true. There are a ton of kids with all As and top 5% scores. There has to be some way to make a decision when so many kids have the same stats. That's when schools look further.[/quote] PP said MOST schools. Someone on DCUM must have kids who go to a school that is not an Ivy or in the Top 30 to 40 nationwide. It is true that at [i]most[/i] schools, having scores and grades above or near the top 25% of applicants should indicate a very high likelihood for acceptance. Schools report their GPAs and test scores for ranking purposes - they don't keep stats on the number of ECs and leadership positions their students have - so they want the high stats kids to boost their averages. But yes, if a student is applying to a school where 75% of the applicants have a 4.5 GPA and 2380 SATs, then ECs would matter. [/quote]
