[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From our Big 3 many of the B students went to UMiami, Tulane, Northeastern, Colgate, Colby.[/quote]

Not anymore. [b]A solid B student would be lucky to get into CU Boulder these days.[/quote][/b]

Did things change this year (2023?) 
Because they were getting in last year (2022).

How do you even know since decisions aren't all out yet?[/quote]

NP. This is true. My B student at a big3 with a 33 ACT was rejected from Boulder this year (2023). [/quote]
Not even admitted to Exploratory Studies? Was the GPA below 3.0?

In state with a 3.0 from a private high school and 33 ACT, CU Boulder would be a clear safety. Sounds as if CU (like other schools) just hasn't figured out how to manage yield for out of state students since apps increased under the current test optional scenario.[/quote]

Flat out rejected. Not offered Exploratory Studies. Did not apply to a competitive entry major. We heard through a parent in another state with a similar result that this year Boulder ran the apps through some sort of AI screening system initially and maybe that is why there are a lot of unexpected rejections. Seems like a weird rumor though. Two other classmates (one with a higher gpa) were also rejected. Pretty sure Boulder has never rejected anyone from our school in the last 5 years, so it was a definite shock![/quote]
