[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school so you have to do your research. My 1490, NMC commended, 7 APs, 4.3 weighted GPA kid got waitlisted by Skidmore. They should have gotten in easily but honestly they almost forgot that they wanted to apply there and never saw the school or interacted with it in any way. I actually tried to get them not to apply, but it was in the original plan and my kid likes to stick with the plans. They were definitely waitlisted because of lack of interest, which is fine because they- in fact- were not interested. But it is a thing for some schools. FYI said kid go into W&M, Tech, Loyola Md with a large scholarship, JMU honors, F&M with a scholarship….[/quote]

They knew your kid would not be interested. That means their admissions team is on top of things.

My kid and others with high GPAs were rejected from Syracuse. They had a lot of demonstrated interest too and it was their top choice. A kid with a much lower GPA was accepted because they have a talent the department wanted.
