[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are still not able to comprehend that with a mid-year GPA from TJ 4.4X, SAT close to 1600, very good ECs, my child got rejected from all Ivies applied, waitlisted in a few T20 schools mostly private and UVA. We are trying to understand what went wrong. Really bothering us for the last couple of months how this can happen with this profile. Was GPA too low?. Did rigor matter at all?. They take the hardest courses but kids from other schools get into T20 schools with less grade or rigor.[/quote] You are probably applying to the most competitive majors at those schools. A 4.4 is about the top third of the class. You either had slightly lower rigor or you had at least 2 Bs. With a 4.4, you have to ED someplace. Cornell becomes a hard admit with a 4.4. The SAT just doesn't get the weight it used to. See naviance.[/quote]
