[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And last year, lots of kids with 4.0s were not invited to interview. So don’t count on a high gpa as getting you through the first hurdle[/quote] This. GPA had [b]very little[/b] to do with who was interviewed. [/quote] Let’s not be too dramatic - GPA had a lot to do with it, but not everything. Teacher recommendations mattered too. [b]My kid personally knows smart kids who were jerks to teachers who didn’t get in. [/b] We don’t need to rehash all the imperfections of the admissions when demand is greater than supply, but saying GPA didn’t matter much isn’t accurate. [/quote] Ok, my kid had a 4.0 and won the Deal "student of the month" 2 months of 6th grade and about 10 different end-of-quarter awards in 7th (top student in math and team VIP or several quarters as two examples) and she didn't get an interview with a 4.0. She is an extremely well behaved girl. [/quote] That is crazy!![/quote]
