St. Alban's college matriculation over 5 years.

33% of all graduates to the top privates on there: Chicago, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Duke, Cornell.

And that's not even counting privates not listed such as Penn, MIT, Stanford, Hopkins,   etc.

That just goes to show what school you attend matters and there is leeway.  I guarantee you top 33% of the class isn't a 3.8 or 3.9.[/quote]

How low is the avg GPA for a Colgate or Wake admit?[/quote]

NP - much lower for Colgate than Wake. Our salutatorian this year applied ED to Wake and did not get it; kids who got into Colgate were around the too 20% of the class and unremarkable in terms of extracurriculars and such.[/quote]

Agree with this.  There is a poster (posters?) who tosses out Wake as an option for middle of the pack kids at DC privates but at ours it's a tough admit.  GPA 3.8+ is required and this is a school with an average GPA of 3.5.  [/quote]

Interesting. Our DCs are at an independent in another (very competitive) metro area and kids get into Wake ED in the 3.5ish range. [/quote]

+1 here
Non-DMV independent in similar metro area.
Wake ED is for 3.5-3.6; but Wake RD is tough if not URM or 3.9+[/quote]
