[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T10 used to take more of a chance on interesting kids with less than 4.0 GPAs. My feeling is that they don't bother anymore with top privates. The kids all look (or make themselves) interesting. So, stats are mostly all that matter unless you can fake an interest in an exotic major (commonly used strategy)[/quote] I didn't think the .07 shy of a 4.0 is the concern here, it's the [b]lack of rigor in STEM [/b](important for all T10 admits regardless of major) and the lack of state or national recognition in ECs.[/quote] As a fellow Sidwell family - I read top-rigor but not Math III to mean they took the 1A science courses, Math I, Math II, Calc I, Calc 2. There's no "choice of rigor" in English/History/language beyond taking the course. There's one level. So if you follow the take 4 years of all five subject areas - the only way to have rigor is via science/math.[/quote]
