What percentage should you be looking for?


At a private school and found college vine a complete waste of time. Naviance much more useful

I would target schools that like big 3 kids - where the rigor is high and average GPA is around 3.5. If the non-top 20-30% kids get in, assuming these kids also have high test scores they are submitting, that's probably your sweet spot.

Wake cares very little about test scores but very much about gpa. The exact opposite of what op is looking for. Need a 3,8 or higher from our private last two cycles.

+1. Like so much else on DCUM, the premise is “what is the highest ranked school I can get into. I’ll change my preferences to align with whatever that is”

What's the GPA at the end of junior year (weighted and unweighted)? How many APs have they done? How many more planned for senior year? What do they want to study?
