[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child got rejected in ivies, waitlisted in some public and private which we were confident to be in, and in some OOS public schools with 4.45 / 1580. GPA is all schools care about. We thought it was rigor and GPA and we were wrong[/quote] This is not correct. GPA in relation to your school IS very important but at the level your kid was gunning for, so are: impact, ECs, leadership, etc. I am guessing a 4.45 was not the top of the HS (our FCPS this year had a top of a 4.6+). Were the ECs amazing? When you have good stats, though, at the level of ivies, there is a baseline and if you cross that, they ask what else do ya got? So even if the 4.45 crossed that baseline, I suspect the ECs were not at the expected level for these schools. [/quote]
