[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.75 or above if not weighted. Agree with PP. GPA overrides all. It’s really not that complicated and what schools like UVA looks for - hardest courses ( eg Calc B/C , AP Chem, etc) and A’s But again - this is only true for T20. After that really it’s VERY easy to get in - As Jeff Sellingo notes in his book - there are plenty of good schools, but people ( parents) Tend to fall into the trap of prestige, rankings and yield rate.. [/quote] GPA is so inflated that you cannot afford a lot of B's From 9-11the grade, how many Bs are bad? The average GPA for Yale is comparable to USC or BU. High GPA is necessary but not sufficient.[/quote][/quote] you can't compare GPAs across colleges. Yale is taking kids from elite private HSs with grade deflation. you can compare via naviance and it would be very unusual to have admits at yale with same profile as BU[/quote]
