[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And sadly, schools that cutoff at the 3.9 level are going to miss a lot of great kids. Who says that a 3.9 kid at a top private has learned more than a 3.2 kid. At our school a lot of the 3.2 kids are just as smart, and pretty hardworking, but kinder, more passionate, less self-absorbed and more interesting than some of the 3.9s. This is not to criticize those at the tippy top, but rather to sway that a lot of that energy gets lost in a highly stats driven admissions process. My husband went to an Ivy, and he wonders if it would be as interesting an experience now. [/quote]+100[/quote]
