<p>What's your school's API?</p>

<p>Class rank? Are you Asian?</p>

<p>Many of these schools are packed tight with Asian students....you look like you have a good chance. What is your UW GPA?</p>

<p>Everyone has a sugar-coated GPA, but schools want to know just how rigorous your courses were. Some students have 4.4 UW GPA, which shows they don't rely on B or C ap testing. </p>

<p>Also, most of these schools have enough overachievers. How strong do you think your personal statement is going to be? Recommendations? I had a friend who didn't do much for E.C or grades but got in supposedly on his superb essay. </p>

<p>Remember, they want students who make THEIR school improve. They can fill up the freshman class with 800 SAT scores and 5.0+ GPA'S 10 times over.</p>
