[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT score between 1520 and 1560, a GPA above 3.975, 7–8 AP exams all scored 5, with some involvement in sports and music, some community service, and some research/paper work.

This is [b]definitely [/b]a large suburb public school.

In any decent private school, a GPA above 3.975 would not have any problem at all with at least one or two of T20.  Heck, a GPA above 3.7 and mediocre ECs would place OP reasonably well if in a decent private school.

Different story in a public school.  That GPA is not good enough with grade inflation.  OP is better off working on a spike, large or small.  Things like leadership, unique job would help.  [/quote]especially

What about rigor?

Does anyone else think 8 APs are not enough for a T-20 college? Especially if coming from a large, suburban public school that offers tons of AP classes and other classmates take more?

We’re not in CA, but DC is at a solid suburban public and will have 11 APs - 2 in 10th, 4 in 11th, and 5 in 12th, including Calc BC, AP Bio, AP Lang, AP Lit, and Physics C.

This is definitly on the high side at our public school, but there at least three other kids in the grade (Asian boys) who will have more - 12 APs plus multiple dual enrollments. They spent their first two summers taking extra classes to “get ahead”. [/quote]
