[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GPA is ok, hard to say how many AP that equates to.  If you take a look around, you will see a lot of perfect stat kids getting very few offers. Huge factor is major- if its CS, be prepared for battle.   Hopefully its some obscure in which case your kid will waltz in lots of places.   Hopefully you are not asian or white or if you are either, you remember your grandma was from spain before you file that application.   It is actually harder to be accepted from TJ vs. other schools - my son turned down TJ after talking to a senior who couldn't get in anywhere because they were quota'ing the TJ kids (going into engineering).   Truthfully, aim for schools in the 15-35 ranking range. My son had a 4.4 GPA 12 AP/DE, and a 1560 SAT, top 1% of his class and tons of amazing ECS and the highest ranked CS program he got into was #18.[/quote]

Remember your grandma was from Spain??? Lying and teaching that to your kid. No words. 
Didn't you hear about the celebrities' college scandal? I hope you get caught.[/quote]

Why do anyone care about school/program ranking if the intended major is CS? I’d think school ranking is more important if some is trying to major in English or history. [/quote]
