[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected. In total shock. High stats (4.6 W, 11 APs, 34 ACT), great ECs, MCPS. We're hoping it's a yield thing, and this doesn't bode badly for DCs RD applications  :( [/quote]

I don’t understand how this individual did not get into UMD?   What is going on? [/quote]

what is the kid UW GPA? 50% mcps kid have weight gpa of 4.5 and above so that 4.6 may not be a good indicator? any C's on AP classes?[/quote]

That’s untrue about the weighted gpa percentage. [/quote]

It is at Churchill.. i would think other mcps schools will be similar, may not be 50% but upward of 40%. Check your school profile to make sure. So 4.6 is not categorized as high gpa unfortunatelly.[/quote]

There's more that goes into it than GPA. Not all honors and AP courses are alike. In CS, AP computer science principles isn't as hard as AP computer science A. AP physics isn't as hard as AP physics C.  AP Calculus AB isn't as hard as AP Calculus BC.  A kid who took the easier of those groups of tests might have the same GPA as a kid who took the harder courses, but those students would be evaluated differently by the colleges. Stats don't tell the whole story. [/quote]
