[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something about this story doesn't add up. I can't believe all those California state schools rejected a California resident with those stats. Either those really aren't his stats, or he can't write an essay, or his teachers hate him, but there's something else going on. [/quote] CA schools basically take the top 6% of students in the class. This kid went to Gunn HS, I believe, which is in Palo Alto. His stats are great, but not super spectacular. It's possible that his stats weren't high enough to be considered top 6% in his HS. This is where you want to play the DEI game using the geography diversity. He should've transferred to Redwood HS in Redwood City where they don't have as many super high performing kids. CS major is super competitive. My DC had a higher GPA than this kid and got rejected to those schools, too. [/quote]
