[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard Westlake's matriculation for unhooked students:

Chicago takes kids all the way down to the 3.2-3.4 gpa band.
Northwestern takes kids from 3.4-3.6 gpa band.
JHU takes only kids in the 3.8-4.0 gpa band.

How do you have access to Harvard Westlake's data?[/quote]

DP: you can google it. Harvard Westlake distributed a document called College Counseling student handbook. Probably meant for internal use but it’s been circulated online/on Reddit. On the back there is a grid that shows stats for every single college their students applied to in the last 3 years (published in Jan 2025). I’m looking at the grid right now, Chicago took 1 kid as far down as 3.2 GPA, 4 kids 3.4, 15 kids 3.6 in the last 3 years.

In comparison, Johns Hopkins also had applicants from HW in those GPA ranges (15 applicants) and took 0. Among 15 applicants who applied from HW with 3.8-4.0 GPA, JHU accepted 5. Very different when you see the 0s across vs. the grid line for Chicago. [/quote]

^^ I’m poster above.

I also just checked Middlebury for comparison. They took 0 kid out of 4 who applied with 3.4, and took 1 out of 15 who applied with 3.6. It’s easier to get into Chicago than to Middlebury if you have mid stats from Harvard Westlake. Perhaps those Middlebury applicants needed aid or took easier courses, but just looking at acceptance numbers, that’s what the HW grid shows. [/quote]
