[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's at a "good Public" as you say, then she probably does have a weighted GPA which you aren't telling us.  Only the top 3 privates are unweighted.  How many AP courses has she taken? What ECs does she have? How did she get so far in the system without an I.Q. test (schools do them routinely, as they do SOLs).  What will her teacher recommendations say?

Yale picks kids with 4.8s, 1600 SATs, perfect SAT II subject matter tests (yes being phased out here but you can still take them abroad thru June of this year); national honors; huge community service like Eagle Scout; Team sports and school leadership positions which demonstrate your kid can get along with others and LEAD, which it sounds like she can't.  That could be a real problem.  What will her teachers say in their letters of recommendation?  Will her counselor check off the "most rigorous" box?[/quote]

Yale accepted Naomi Wolf.

I would like you to all take a look at her twitter feed lately and get back to me about their intellectual rigor.[/quote]
