<p>Essays and Recs should be good.</p>

<p>He's not planning to be recruited for sports.</p>

<p>Mostly concerned about low GPA and no stand out ECs.</p>

<p>nope. GPA is Yale’s most important requirement (thats what they say). no chance however smart he is. sorry :frowning: NMF get full ride at Alabama tho! YAY! (thats what i did for my safety…)</p>

<p>I guess your friend did not have time to study and let the grade slipped, and had 770 hours for volunteering service.</p>

4

<p>Yeah his GPA is mostly due to laziness, does he really have zero shot at HYPSM and caltech ?</p>

5

<p>he really does have no shot :frowning: GPA is a prerequisite. it’s like going to a duel without a gun. you can have all the bells and whistles, but you’re gonna lose without the gun… however your friend is OBVIOUSLY a genius and will succeed in life.</p>

6

<p>Must be frustrating for your friend-he has good scores but was under the impression that his ECs would dazzle tippy top schools.
He will get into a good school though.
Hope he will try for a high gpa in college, he has the potential.</p>

7

<p>I do not see your friend getting into HYPSMC.</p>

<p>Rank and GPA are not even close.</p>

8

<p>That GPA is extremely low. Unless he is a recruited athlete he doesn’t really have a chance despite the great test scores. No reason not to apply if you don’t mind spending time on the essays and paying hte fees.</p>

9

<p>Gpa is really low for HYPSM and rank is awful. Ecs are good and test scores are amazing but still a very low chance. But maybe caltech if science and math grades are good</p>

<p>lol so clearly a ■■■■■.</p>
