Subject: where are 3.7-3.8 kids getting into this year from Big3 schools?
My DC had a 3.82 and was accepted to a top 10 school as a legacy. 35 ACT and max rigor in all classes. Not a great Freshman year due to Covid but great since then.

Nope. Based on SCOIR data from our school (GDS or Sidwell), a student was admitted to Princeton with a 3.7. This is within the last 3 years.
You may need a higher GPA at other privates.
There was a hook, not based on grades.

unhooked?
The "unhooked" line at our private is pretty much a 3.9 for top 20's.
Yes, unhooked. I don’t know her test scores or ECs.
Then that would be Sidwell.
Bingo!

Or generally a quite strong gpa (but not necessarily a 3.9 or most rigorous courses across the board) and being recruited for a sport, so that’s part of the numbers. Though at DS’s school there’s a lot of overlap of high gpa and some other hook (high gpa, strong athletic recruit and urm, or a top academic with 3.95+ gpa and highest rigor classes and double legacy).

Our SCOIR only shows up through 2023. Won't know this until next year.

Why are there so many 3.9+? What about grade deflation?
I thought there was grade deflation but if you look at SCOIR data you really need a 3.9+ to get into a top 20 school. Maybe this is Covid inflation?
Are the 3.7-3.8 GPAs to Cornell and Brown from this year or last year? (2023 or 2024?)
Where are the 3.7-3.8's actually getting in this year (or even last year)? I really it's early but there have to be plenty of them out there. Anyone know?

Ask again in April. Asking that now is only getting ED and some EA data.

3.7 and 3.8 is the sweet spot for the safety Ivies like Cornell and Brown.
