If you were accepted to a top college, if you don’t mind, can you share your GPA from each of your years in HS. So your freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior GPA? Thanks!
Elite not only including ivy leagues but other stellar schools such as UCB, UCLA, University of Michigan and so on. If you are not sure fi your college is elite share your GPA break down anyway. AND, include clubs and Extraciricualrs too.
Also, state extraciriculars by year!
Threads asking this already exist in some of the school specific forums. Look up the schools that are on your radar and you’ll see students posting their stats.
My daughter had an unweighted 4.0 all the way through high school. Accepted/attending a top 10 engineering program in their honors college. Piano - competition and accompanying 9 -12, Theater 9 - 12, Mission trips and volunteer work 9 - 12, Sci Oly 11- 12, Leadership programs (two year long program mentoring 9th/10th graders with guidance office, retreat and volunteer project leader), 11 - 12, Volleyball 9 - 10, countless STEM summer programs, and a part time job. Loads of awards related to engineering and STEM. Very STEM heavy curriculum, most rigorous course schedule offered at her school.
She also had a rejection and wait list from her high reach and a low reach, and then acceptances to the rest (varied from safeties to another low reach).
Please tell SAT/ACT scores as well if possible!!
okay let me debunk the idea of high stats= admissions to top schools.
not true at all. while stats do play a factor in admissions, it’s ultimately the essays you write and the extracurriculars you do that get you admitted or not.
also consider the fact that applicants at these top schools literally all look the same on paper with the 4.0 and 1600s.
As @momofsenior1 has said, there are many, many threads on this topic.)
@SchoolBoy12341 Information on GPA and test scores is available on each college’s website, typically in the admissions section (often labeled “class profile”) and in the Common Data Set. Google these for each school you are considering. There is no substitute for finding this information yourself on each college’s websites.
@SchoolBoy12341 If you’re trying to parse the relationship between stats and admissions success at elite schools, Brown publishes the most useful information
An excerpt from the page https://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/facts
SAT Critical Reading
Score / admitted
800 / 23%
750-790 / 15%
700-740 / 10%
Look on Naviance or look at the Common Data Sets for the colleges of interest
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Closing thread. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel; almost every top college forum on this site has a results thread. e.g.

Feel free to peruse.
To see information in the aggregate, look at the college(s) websites. e.g.

You can also Google the Common Data Set for many universities.
