[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard here and in podcasts with AOs themselves, that they treat test scores as a threshold ie, they glance at it, it raises no alarm bells, they move on.

Do you think GPA is treated similarly? A kid in top 1% and top 5% at our school is often about if the lower ranked kid  took an extra unweighted class like music theory so I find GPA as dicey as test scores, if not more so.[/quote]

It depends on the HS, and what else is in the application.
From a non-rigorous public, a 3.8uw might = a disgard.
From a feeder private, a 3.8uw might mean a closer read.

Your HS matters MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.[/quote]

Can we sticky this somewhere please, to get the tiger moms off the internet? [/quote]
Huh? What's wrong with that comment?[/quote]

I think it means everything depends on your high school. At the end of the day all the advice on here is not that helpful or relevant if it is not specific to your particular high school and circumstance.[/quote]
