[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top SLAC. I think what helped was SLACs look at whole picture. [/quote] This. Agree with PP that SLACs seem more likely than huge universities to look at the whole student, not solely tossing out applications if they don't make a specific, numeric GPA/test scores cutoff. I think essays really matter with schools where they aren't having to wade through thousands upon thousands of applicants[/quote] A relative worked in college admissions at two top SLACs. What they shared: admissions offices slice and dice in various ways, including by test scores. There may not be a cut off, but all things but scores being equal may move an app from maybe to no.[/quote]
