[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know several kids who were not super strong students who got into [b]Tulane ED if the accepted a first semester abroad[/b], start in NO in Feb.

I believe the top SLACs give a boost to private school grades because they want more of those families who have a tradition of giving in their alumni.  I went to a top 10 slac from public school, all the boarding school kids got to skip the 101 classes - but public schools w/ AP credit did not, by sophmore year, the public school kids who had had higher GPA and SATs did way better than the weighted up boarding school group.[/quote]

This is Tulane's trick to having higher reported stats, the CDS reports Freshman Fall first time admission stats only.[/quote]

Northeastern does the exact same thing.  At my DD’s (not big 3 equivalent-we live outside DMV) private, some very shaky applicants got in, provided they go to Oakland first.  She was shocked by who got in.  Not sour grapes as she did not apply.  She visited and did not like it.[/quote]
