[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pleaae educate this non-US educated parent of a junior. I thought the larger unis focus mostly on GPA and standardized tests scores. There are 2 posters on here, one whose child was admitted and the other was postponed, with the same GPA but the one who was postponed had a standardized test score 100 points higher. I am confused how this occurs. And my congratulations to those students admitted and my best to the students who were postponed, I certainly hope for good news for them later in the year. [/quote] You can’t just compare GPA itself. Not all APs are equal in rigour. They might prefer a lower GPA with more difficult APs. SATs matter less[/quote] PP who had a kid in last year's class. Engineering and Business are very hard to get into. DS got into LSA with 4.28 GPA and 1460 SAT from an FCPS achool, 6 APs. Not a URM, but legacy and full pay. I think those last two factors moved the needle enough for him.[/quote]
