It's the matriculation data for unhooked kids from Harvard Westlake. 
It's REALLY interesting.

A couple of thoughts:
--Their GPAs seem to be a touch higher than those at DC privates.  Many kids are applying with above a 3.8.  Very few are applying with below a 3.4.  Our DC private has almost no kids with a 3.8+

That said, the Ivies have a pretty strict GPA cut-off of about 3.8.  Still lots of lower kids trying to apply without luck.  I can totally see this at our private "my kid is special!  they can get into an Ivy with a 3.6!!"  Um. NO
Other schools like NYU, Georgetown, Tufts seem to love HW kids.

If I had to guess, it's that the kid with the highest scores, the ones with shots at "reachy" schools, are applying to lots of schools.  So the fact that there are more applications from students in that range doesn't mean there are more students in that range. [/quote]

Yes, I don’t think the conclusion about GPAs is a reasonable one.[/quote]
