[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you take a look at Harvard Westlake's unhooked college acceptance data, 3.8 / 4.5 gets you in many top universities, including ivies.[/quote] Are you an HW parent? How does a 3.8 UW turn into a 4.5 WG? NO WAY! As someone who has spent 12 years as an HW parent and seen countless HW kids, I can tell you that a 3.8 UW won't cut it for top Ivies. Around 50 students have a 3.9 UW or higher, and so many students cluster around the 3.9-3.8 range. With a 3.8, the school will likely push hard for the University of Chicago, and perhaps Cornell (as an ED option). For Regular Decision, it's going to be tough. The likely range would be schools like Notre Dame, WashU, Johns Hopkins, or Georgetown. [/quote] HW does not weight GPA. 3.8 / 4.5 means 3.8 out of 4.5 scale. There is a link provided by HW, listing unhooked applicant acceptance by GPA range. You are obviously not familiar with HW. :? [/quote]
