[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our private has this rule for T20: Consider TO if GPA above 3.85 (3.9 for T10) and scores are not at least 34 ACT (maybe 33. If GPA below, need some scores - if at 25% generally need something else out of the ordinary (pointy national level ECs)….[/quote] My public school kid came to this conculsion himself. His grades were OK, he was top 30% in his public school. He does have strong ECs, especially for Math and Science, plus is captain of his varsity sports team, so he is not a one trick pony. However, he knew he had to kill the tests. He took botht he ACT and SAT and scored 36/1560 (800 on math). He got into Rice EA for engineering. We were suprosed becuase of his class rank. It was not so high beucase he hates the humanities and never challenged himself in that area.[/quote]
