I graduated college in early 2000s

I had a 3.8, 2 AP classes, 32 ACT, was on one varsity sport (not captain).  That’s it. I was in-state, but still.  No way would I get in today. [/quote]

Similar story, but UVA.  Had a 3.75, 1390 SAT,  had a number of ECs.  But 100% not get into UVA with that profile now.[/quote]

But a student with the same capabilities as you had back then would probably have a 4.6 and a 1500+.  Grades and test scores are incredibly inflated now.[/quote]

I’m starting to realize this is a big part of it. I also went to UVA, also probably 3.75 (from a private but not elite school) and a 1430. And nothing but summer jobs and (required) school sports and one or two clubs as ECs. DS wants to go to UVA and always says I wouldn’t get in today but I think PP is right that my stats would be higher today. Also I didn’t prep for the SAT and I only took it once and that was true for most of my friends as I recall. [/quote]
