How about a student with a less-than-3.0 GPA??

<p>Fall 2007 - Hampshire College-Entering Freshmen-GPA’s </p>

<p>3.75 & Above = 32%
3.50-3.74 = 15%
3.25-3.49 = 17%
3.00-3.24 = 17%
2.50-2.99 = 16%
2.00-2.49 = 3% </p>

<p>Here are most recent stats on GPA’s I could find for you. There was a student on an HC forum this last admission cycle who called up Admissions because he was denied. The admissions person told him/her that his/her grades could have been better. </p>

<p>Although Hampshire says they will meet about 99% of need, we knew an outstanding applicant whose FA package was terrible & he ended up at Bennington. (Bennington does need males, but their FA stats are not terribly impressive either-small college and a small endowment) Bennington might be worth looking into, if he is considering Hampshire.</p>
