SAT I: 1580/2290
SAT II: 780 US/770 LIT/770 MII
4 AP scores of 5, 5 more AP's this year + Calc III
Excellent Interview--My interviewer repeatedly told me that she felt I was a great fit for Carleton.
Extras: Okay--mostly Clarinet, German, & Youth and Government. A couple of leadership positions and some (mostly academic) awards.</p>

<p>wow, you guys have intimidating stats. Here's the other end of the accepted spectrum.
GPA: 3.4 UW, school doesn't weigh
Rank: Comp. private school, doesn't rank.
SAT: M710, CR750, W650
ACT: 32
SAT II: Lit 730, Math 1 720, US Hist. 620
No AP's before three senior year, I applied ED 2 so I got a little boost there.
EC's: 4 yrs of tennis, 2 varsity, non-recruitable
Sports/Opinion editor of school paper
Founder of school opinions paper/alt. newspaper
Some community service, mostly through school
I suppose my essays and interview were probably solid, I didn't think they were anything special though so....</p>

<p>Congrats to everybody who's been admitted, you should all go there. Condolences to the unlucky ones, I'm sure you'll have a blast wherever you end up, and to those of you still waiting, best of luck!</p>

<p>Son was accepted yesterday, too.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.82 unw/4.41 w
Rank: 5/350
SAT I: 2380
SAT II: 800 MII; 800 Physics
3 AP scores of 5, 6 more AP's this year
No interview
EC's: Mostly music/band - nothing outstanding, but he loves it & that probably showed.</p>

<p>Son got waistlist letter today. I think it was largely due to no demonstrated interest -- he liked Carleton okay in theory, but has been much more drawn to Reed and Chicago. Statwise, he's a 3.9 unweighted, SAT's in the mid-high 700's. No AP's, school didn't offer them, but a lot of outside coursework, at Stanford and other schools.</p>

<p>my stats (accepted):
SATs: 760 V, 760 M, 700 W
SAT IIs: 780 US History, 750 Math I, 750 Bio E
GPA: 4.0 uw/4.6 w
Rank: school doesn't do rankings, but top 3% at least
ECs: decent but nothing amazing (a lot of community service)
My interview was not great and I guess my essays were okay</p>

<p>I'm in at Carleton! I live by Minneapolis, and I love the school.</p>

<p>I previously posted (#123) my son's stats by copying the previous post & editing, but goofed on the GPA. </p>

<p>He has a 97.43 GPA, which would basically translate to a 4.0.</p>

<p>Congratulations to all who have been accepted. My junior daughter has thrived at Carleton. Should you choose to attend, I suspect that you won't be disappointed. Carls are very loyal, indeed.</p>

<p>hey angfield, where do you go to school? I live in the Minneapolis area too.</p>

Her stats: 4.0 UW, about 4.5 W GPA, 2290 Sat I, 800, 790, 710 Sat II. School doesn't rank. Lots of performing art type EC's: dance, choir plus volunteer and leadership stuff.
