[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a 3.75 uw, 1500+, with near-maximum rigor at a top private feeder. High impact ECs and excellent writing. They're applying to health & society/public health and adjacent majors as a non-pre-med. Aiming for a T20 (non-HYPSM) -- do they have good chances? All anecdotes/feedback/input is appreciated![/quote]

From our feederish high school, one has to be top 15% GPA with near-max rigor to get in to the lower T20 with ED including  ED with no hooks. If you want any ivy besides the easier ones (cornell ED or dartmouth ED) or any T10 non-ivy with no hooks you have to have max rigor and be top5-10% GPa, near the very top of the class if you want RD.
3.75 UW is not top 30% for any private in our area, nor at the top two public magnets. A student with that profile and not max rigor, 1500, would be borderline for UVa and W&M in state Ea/RD but would get in ED. Would depend what “near” max rigor meant. No way T20. Ask your high school where 3.75 falls relative to the top 10 or 20% and look on SCOIR[/quote]

OP said at her school some did get in with 3.75.  No need to gaslight any more.  [/quote]

Those could be people with some other hooks. I think the PP you responded to gave the correct advice.[/quote]
