[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3.7 GPA just isn't that special anymore. Sure, 20-30 years ago a 3.7 at a top private might gain Ivy admission, but college admissions has gotten so much more selective. Many of us would not get into our slma maters today with our stats from years ago. [/quote] In the 90s through early 2000s a 3.75 GPA was competitive at schools Harvard, Stanford, and the public “ivies” like Chapel Hill, UVA, W&M, etc. And many DC independent schools didn’t offer AP classes back then. They had bespoke courses that fit within the high standards, outlook, and pedagogy of the school, which is still true today, but there is now more adherence to AP. Today a 3.75 is probably average.
