[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anonymous wrote: Swarthmore, Middlebury, Tufts, Davidson, Vandy, Pomona, etc. I don't think so. I also disagree with Notre Dame, unless the student has phenomenal extracurriculars - like founded a charity or is an Olympic athlete. Yup. a 3.5 is an indication of a very smart, hard working kid[/quote] A 3.5 at Sidwell/STA/NCS/GDS/Holton, where you max at at 4.0 and the grades are unweighted even for APs, is an excellent GPA that will get the child into at least a few of these schools (and Michigan, UNC Chapel Hill, Vassar, UVA, etc.). A 3.5 kid at these top schools STILL HAS A GPA THAT REFLECTS AN "A-" AVERAGE. If you have kids at these top schools, they are not handing out As. So to average an A- for 4 years put you in the top 15-25% I would say. NCS and STA send about 1/4- 1/3 of their graduating class to ivies alone in any given year...[/quote]
