[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. His GPA is really a 3.7 and he isn’t top 10% of his class. Reality check. USC, Lehigh, CMU, Cornell, Cal Tech, Purdue are all reaches and highly unlikely. I wouldn’t waste REA on Princeton as it’s not happening. I’d also write off Duke as he isn’t top 10% and it’s not great for engineering. I also have no idea why you’d not pay OOS at a top engineering school but would pay for Duke. The CU Boulder suggestion is a good one but take a look at the stats because engineering admits had around 4.0 GPAs[/quote] Not all 4.0s are equal. This gpa is from a rigorous private school and that’s why I mentioned in my earlier post. Most public schools don’t have +- and to even get A-, he has to work way harder at this school versus if he was in public school. He has all 5s in AP exams but A- in most of those classes. Our school has 100% admit rate (yes 100%) to CU bolder including kids with 2.5 gaps. That’s why I am saying not all gaps are similar. [/quote]
