<p>sstewart, my son was admitted to an Ivy with about a 3.6, and he was not in the top 10% of his class. He had a most rigorous courseload, very high SAT scores, a lot of leadership, commended on the PSAT. He had no hooks. His GPA at the Ivy is about the same as that in high school.
So, it is possible. That being said, you might just get a better education at Carleton. Good luck!</p>
