[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite what you always hear, I know several non-hooked kids that have gotten into top 20 without top rigor across the board. They all had good GPAs but not top rigor in 100% of their classes. What is your experience? [/quote] T15-25 not needed to have max in all, just most, especially if ED. For Top10 especially in RD , all is needed. For anyone with less than top3% GPA for most publics or less than top 10% GPa from most privates, top rigor across the board can boost the slightly borderline GPA. [b]UChicago is the T10 exception: ED there does not need all top rigor, even if the GPA is borderline.[/b] If your student is not interested in top rigor in all areas why would they want T20? [/quote] Northwestern moreso than UChicago - many from our private are admitted ED (sometimes RD) with very minimal rigor. The kids who go to UChicago typically have higher rigor and better test scores.[/quote]
