My kid applied because of no supplementals. His counselor recommended he apply RD to show another semester of grades (he had a rough second semester freshman year ending with a C in History and B- in Latin) but has had straight As since. He only took two years of Latin in HS.

3.85 uw (private), 7 APs, 1550 SAT. NMSF. In state. Applied to SEAS and was accepted. We are very surprised.


Great! My kid has a very similar profile. He had applied EA but then he ended up pulling the app when ED1 admit came through. We assumed UVA was probably a no go because of not perfect GPA and only 2 yrs lang. Maybe we would have been pleasantly surprised after all.

Wow, you broke protocol by not saying Connecticut or New England instead of Yale.


Now that you acted all weird by the mention of Yale, I guess I'll have to go back to it.

Thanks for sharing. How did you compute the midyear GPA? Did you just weigh each credit by half? Thanks.
