[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about this for a reality check: 4.0 UW, 4.86 W 1560 SAT, 13 AP 8 5s, 5 4s (non-STEM), AP Calc BC 10th grade, through MVC and Linear algebra 4 year varsity athlete national CS awards part time job Rejected: Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, Brown WL: Cornell, Northeastern, Case Western Accepted: UMD, RIT, RPI CS major MCPS Magnet At UMD on scholarship [/quote] Unbelievable that your kid had those stats and did not get into CMU/Cornell. CMU loooks for Math-y kids and Cornell loves student-athletes which is why I am surprised by your kid’s outcomes. Just shows that so much more goes into decisions — including institutional priorities — than just stats. [/quote] CMU has a 5-7% acceptance rate, and it's even lower for CS. It's not shocking. 85% of students applying are "qualified" yet only 2-3% get into CS. That means many many highly qualified will get rejected. It's a numbers game. [/quote]
