[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you might be interested in this story https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stanley-zhong-google-software-engineer/ My kids experience was similar and I can assure you that Ivy League schools are most certainly not looking for kids gifted in programming or technology for their CS programs. [/quote] Stanley Zhong had a 3.96 unweighted GPA, though. OP's kid is getting some Cs. That's a big difference.[/quote] My point is that even with a better GPA that is not what these schools are looking for. They would seemingly rather have a rower for the crew team or kid that dabbles in computers who also stars in the schools musicals. [/quote]
