Have You Ever

<p>Heard of any student being admitted into an ivy league or equivalent with a 3.2 unweighted gpa?</p>

<p>No, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible… Depending on your test scores, ECs, recommendations, and the type of classes you took you could technically get in to some very good schools with a GPA like that. But again, it really depends on how strong you are in other areas. And remember, Ivy leagues are like insanely competitive, so I wouldn’t get too hung up on any of them because they are such crapshoots when it comes to admissions.</p>

<p>The lowest I’ve heard of is a student with a 2.3 HS GPA going to Cornell, as listed at [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.cornellsprintfootball.com/recruiting/player-profiles]Player”&gt;http://www.cornellsprintfootball.com/recruiting/player-profiles]Player</a> Profiles<a href=“2nd%20from%20bottom”>/url</a>. The Ivy athletic league permits up to 2 recruits in the D/low-low band, which extends from 2.5 SDs below mean of the class down to the minimum AI of 171 . I believe the listed stats give an AI of exactly 171, which is the minimum AI allowed for Ivy League athletes. Theoretically a recruit could be ranked last in his HS class and still reach an AI of >171, if he did well on his SATs.</p>

<p>Adding to my earlier post, the GPA may be a typo, as it does not fit with the class rank well. Nevertheless, there are a small number of athletic recruits with a 3.2 GPA and lower. Less than 1% of the freshman class has a HS GPA below 3.2 at most extremely selective colleges.</p>

<p>Never heard of it.</p>
