[quote=Anonymous][quote]Our child with over a 4.0 and similar SAT's was rejected from MacAlester, Emory, and Oberlin. Your child will not get into those schools.[/quote] Is the over a 4.0 weighted or unweighted? How would you have an unweighted 4.0 unless your school gives A+s, which might be a sign of grade inflation. How rigorous were their courses--did they take all the most challenging courses with a lot of APs? Did they blow off their essays? There are so many factors that go into this. While I agree that Emory, Tufts, Mcalester, etc. would be reaches, they are not such high reaches that they are ridiculous to apply to. I also know plenty of B+ students who end up at Oberlin and A students who don't. Sometimes it has to do with how rigorous their coursework was, or whether or not they have a great essay.[/quote]
