[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1988: local MCPS high school. 3.9 GPA, there was no weighting then. Hardest humanities and science but not math, no calculus. No AP tests. 1500 SAT. Not great extracurriculars, just music really. Great essays. Rejected: Harvard, Princeton. WL, Amherst. In: Oberlin, Chicago, Bowdoin, Williams. [/quote] I’m a little bit older with similar stats. This is the thing. Harvard was never an easy admit. But it was easier than it is now, and there are many schools that are insanely competitive now that were fairly easy then. As others have mentioned, state flagships were the safety schools. [/quote]
