[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also deferred from Tulane. DC is fine with it, only applied because counselor suggested it and definitely didn't show more than a cursory interest. I'm more disappointed than DC because I think it's a great school.  In at Fordham and [b]a handful of UK schools[/b]. [/quote]

What were DC’s stats?[/quote]

34 ACT, 3.8 UW GPA, 4.4 W GPA, varsity sports since sophomore year, leadership roles in school and community service organizations.[/quote]

Wow, DC was denied with those stats? I am shocked. She will get in someplace else great! [/quote]

which UK schools PP?[/quote]

Unconditional offers from Royal Holloway, St. Andrews, and Exeter. Conditional offer from Durham. Still waiting on Edinburgh. It's a much less stressful system, I must say. [/quote]

[b]I'd love to hear anything you have to share about the UK University process, PP. We're a couple years away from applications but DS has already voiced a lot of interest in applying to UK schools. Thanks![[/b]/quote]

It's surprisingly GPA (and later test and interview) driven.  They expect to see at least a 3.5 to 4.0 (tops) U.S. transcript. For graduate work, it's a 3.7 on a scale iof 4.0.  So that's your starting point.  The FCPS student that I knew who got in had 15 APs and perfect GPA and scores.  They care less about SJW and "I've overcome this" essay stuff.[/quote]
