<p>Interested if a 4.0 or 5.0 are necessary for admissions. wondering if 3.89 might make the cut with 1810 sat .</p>
<p>Ummmm...</p>
<p>That's a reallllly low SAT score. If you get in, you'd be in the 10-15th percentile at Stanford.</p>
<p>That's pretty low if it's weighted. And the SAT is very low as well.</p>
<p>The average uw last year was 3.9, if your score is uw it's fine. However, your SAT score needs serious improvement to be in the range of Stanford students.</p>
<p>where is the average GPA of last year's class of 2010? I only see the average "Transfer" GPA on their website.</p>
<p>can someone give me a link of their average admitted high school student class?</p>
<p>wow was it really 3.9 UW? That's high.</p>
<p>would it look good if i had a 3.88 uw GPA and a 4.7 w GPA - but was in top 6%? my school doesn't rank</p>

<p>I've called and ask Stanford admissions...they don't have the "infamous filter" you hear so much about on this forum.</p>
<p>They also recalculate GPA so if you have a really hard GPA system in your school, you might not have to worry so much.</p>
<p>yay yoshi. good to hear..</p>
<p>Yoshi, how do they recalculate the GPA? I go to a really tough school</p>
<p>Well I didn't ask for there recalculation formula or scale they use....but many colleges do recalculate GPAs and it's not an uncommon practice. </p>
<p>My school sends a flier in with the high school transcript explaining our county's educational background and grading scale so I'm assuming your school will/should do just the same. Ask your counselor :)</p>
<p>How they recalculate GPA: </p>
<p>A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0</p>
<p>All pluses and minuses are ignored, and no courses are given extra weight. The only courses included are academic ones (English, math, science, social studies, foreign language), no classes like PE or whatever.</p>
<p>Check this out for more info: <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/%5B/url%5D">http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/</a></p>
<p>"Percent who had GPA of 3.75 and higher 93%
Percent who had GPA of between 3.50 and 3.74: 5%
Percent who had GPA between 3.25 and 3.49: 1% "</p>
<p>93 percent of those admitted had GPA 3.75 or higher??! What about people who go to difficult schools? D</p>

<p>What is your source for this?</p>
<p>I'd find it quite surprising that with its D1 level athletic recruiting, legacies, URMs, there are only 24 students out of the 2400 admitted that have a B+ average. Especially when 25% of students have SAT <670 V, 690 M.</p>
<p>I got the info from someone who e-mailed the Stanford admissions office and asked them about their GPA recalculation process: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=213339%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=213339</a></p>
<p>This is still hard to believe. Assuming 10 'core" courses in 10/11 grades, this means 93% of students got no more than 2 B's. Yet 27% of admitted students got <700 SATs.</p>
<p>I wonder if the advertised GPAs are the same as the recalculated GPAs, or whether they are using different numbers for internal and external consideration.</p>
<p>I hope it means 3.75 W or higher. Then that would make a lot more sense.</p>
<p>I think it's actually UW.</p>
