[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. His school still follows the AP curriculum but also offers post AP classes. He would have taken 12 APs and 2 post APs in math by the time he graduates. School calculates GPA on a scale of 100, but he has the equivalent of a 4.0 unweighted ( mostly A+s in all classes ). Intended major would be along the lines of economics/ finance / accounting . [/quote]

This may be the issue: school is not a top private. Top privates don’t give out As easily let alone have 15% of the class getting A+. We have friends in lower tier private with similar profile. Thought bc they were top of class they could aim of r schools like Brown and Dartmouth ED; all  rejected and ended up at schools like Wesleyan and Middlebury during RD. [/quote]

*aim for

Also want to add from my one person’s observation in our city (outside DMV), T15 schools are taking kids from top privates and brilliant kids from public schools who are low income. The in-between mid-tier private and UMC kids don’t get in. [/quote]
