[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unhooked science kid with 3.6, 33 ACT....great ECs....would he have a chance? Wondering if grades and stats alone mean he is a no-go?[/quote]

Yes, if he/she is a top athlete or from a less represented region.  [/quote]

Or an underrepresented minority (possibly), or award-winning violinist etc....[/quote]

Just in case you are wondering what a hooked candidate might look like, my AA daughter was accepted a few years ago with unweighted 4.0, 2380 SATs, and several school leadership positions.[/quote]

And very well may have been the highest scoring AA applicant in the country.  There are only a couple hundred AA students that score above 750 on any of the sections;  I can't imagine that there are more than a handful of AA students with perfect/almost perfect scores on all three sections. With those scores she obviously is qualified for any school out there, but she is far from typical of the average "hooked" candidate.[/quote]
