GATech is not a safety with that stat if you are majoring in Cs.  DS had a 1580, 4.92 wgpa, 4.0 uwgpa, CS major. Rejected.

That’s the thing…it’s hard to predict anything these days to classify schools as a safety or target anymore. It’s really become a lottery.

I’m going to through applications now with #2, but let me explain DC #1 stats from HS class of 2022….1540 SAT (800 math), 4.0 uw, 4.6 w. He applied to many schools as CS major. Got into Cornell, Michigan, UT Austin, UCLA, GA Tech, UVA, UMD, VaTech, UCSD, George Mason, and UMass Amherst. Waitlisted at Princeton, Purdue, and UPenn. Rejected at UIUC, MIT, U Wash, and Berkeley.[/quote]

I'm a [b]little confused why it is so shocking[/b] to any of you that most colleges do not want to fill their entire freshmen classes with computer science majors, most of which also fit into a few standard socioeconomic and gendered demographics. (Ie male, suburban, umc.)

I'm not saying you should game the system by having your kid declare a different major... I'm saying your kids should have different majors. I know a lot of high-flyers in tech. All with undergrad degrees in the humanities and hard sciences.

Sorry.  Missed that. Didn’t see shocked poster(s) concerning admission decisions. [/quote]
