[quote=Anonymous]So far, the college admission process seems fair based on our experience. My daughter had 3.65 weight GPA, 1550 SAT got into PSU many years ago. She was also admitted by VT and George Washington U back then. My son, 4.27 weighted GAP, 1520 SAT, 11 APs as most other kids, is accepted by Purdue engineering and UMCP. He is rejected by Georgia tech and deferred by UIUC. All decisions align with our expectations. He did not do things specific for college admission. Focused on each course, played one sport for 11 years, nothing else special. My friends' kids who have better GPAs got into schools that ranked higher, as expected. Kids with lower GPAs got into PSU and Pitts. I think the main things are GPA and course Rigor. The rest are not determining factors. [/quote]
