@WJE9164be My school has a very high population of Asian American students which makes the school competitive. 99% of the graduating class goes to college. I would say about 50% is not intelligent and brings the average down, but fighting for a spot is extremely competitive. For example, I took 5 AP classes my junior year. The other two classes were taken up by my swimming. Even though my lowest grade was a 96 for that semester I got 20 ranks worse because I was not taking all 7 AP credits. And I am legacy at Yale and UChicago if that helps. Thanks for the input.
