[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3.5 is an excellent GPA at Sidwell, and makes for a great applicant if the student has good test scores, recommendations, and ECs. It's not the tippy top GPA at Sidwell, but I'd say it's tough to get beyond a 3.75 or so if you are active outside of the classroom. In my years of observing this as a parent, I think a 3.5 with extras trumps a 3.8 with not much else.[/quote] PP with the 3.5 kid with many acceptances. You are absolutely right. He had some incredible ECs involving awards for foreign travel, awards for essays, etc. And despite what people think, Sidwell does help; his teachers who wrote his recommendations know him very very well and have helped him grow intellectually and as a person.We got FA and are so thankful to Sidwell and proud of him.
