<p>Tokenadult,
About 20% of my class is going to an IVY. Add another 25% or so to include top LAC’s and “near Ivies,” e.g. JHU, U of C, etc. There are several girls with 3.98 (my school doesn’t weight and all HS classes are “honor level”) or so GPA’s and 2300’s who were rejected or waitlisted at all Ivies and top 10 schools. Now maybe that’s the difference between 2300 and 2400, but I think not. This was a really hard year, especially for girls, and, while I appreciate that you have been on this site a lot longer than I, I’m not so sure that perfect means in, at least this year.</p>
