[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i've made this point before, but if that's the case it just doesn't mesh with the fact that there are many girls who land at these schools who are unhooked and likely have sub-3.95 GPAs.[/quote]

This is not based on SCOIR reality.  To get into a top 30 school you needed a 3.9+ this year, mostly a 3.95.  SCOIR does't lie.

Why the ultra high standards? A few years ago NCS was sending 3.5-3.7 girls to BC, Wake, and other schools in that caliber [/quote]

This year BC required a 3.99/36 from NCS.  Everyone else was rejected (8 girls with GPAs in the 3.5 to 3.87 range). 
I don't know what happened but many other schools were the same. All Ivies were 3.97+, UVA 3.95+, etc. 
If you're not in the top 15 girls in the class and getting straight As your options were very limited. 
Does anyone know what happened? [/quote]

These schools have a record high number of applicants, thousands of which have 4.0+. In the era of test optional they are choosing to look past kids who are compensating for lower grades with higher test scores regardless of the high school they attended. [/quote]
