[quote=Anonymous]How do you get a 3.41 GPA for freshman year with 5 B's and a C? Unless he applies to a school that doesn't count freshman year, there is no way he is getting in those schools. They are looking for mostly As, with an occasional B+. A C is a kiss of death. My dc had a better GPA, 10 APs, 1550 on the SATs, comparable extracurriculars. Of the schools on your list, dc applied to five of them and got rejected by all five. Dc's classmate had a 3.9+ unweighted GPA, 12 APs, a 1590 on the SAT, good extracurriculars, is a minority and has a disability, and was rejected by Stanford. It's brutal out there. He needs a safety and one or two target schools. None of the schools you listed are a given. I agree with the others about UC schools. [/quote]
