<p>In ranking order, which Ivy League schools cares least about high rank/perfect GPAs, more on the SAT and personal stuff/essays?</p>
<p>I don't know if this is true but I hear that Cornell and Brown are the most into "people" qualities out of all the Ivies. And Stanford while not an Ivy also has a good rep for choosing canidates based on personality/ECs and all that good stuff. Again, don't know if any of it is true, but it's what I hear.</p>
<p>why don't you look at their common data set and see how they personally ranked it instead of gathering common opinion?</p>
<p>because I want to see it based on ppls opinions, not statistics</p>
<p>because the ivys are "random"</p>
<p>All of them value high rank and high GPAs, sorry.</p>
<p>However, it is easier to gain admission into lower Ivies such as Cornell or U Penn with a lower GPA, since they are less selective overall.</p>
<p>sarorah: Looking at common data set doesn't really help either, as they will probably rank the admissions criteria the same. GPA will always be regarded as "very important."</p>
<p>What about HYPS?</p>
<p>It's not statistics, it's the college's hardcore opinion that doesn't change from year to year . . anyway if you don't have a good GPA/rank at any of the colleges you mentioned, the rest of the app is not regarded with as much interest unless you have a special case going on for you.</p>
<p>None, they all rank equally with the numbers; if they are not there there is no point in admission bar a major hook, such as insane money donation, athletics, and the like. Then the subjective aspects will be considered; some colleges put emphasis in differing places, like Dartmouth goes after the recommendations the heaviest.</p>
<p>urm enough?</p>
<p>yeah unfortunately URM is considered a special case, even though it's kids like SOME PEOPLE that will take advantage and doesn't help the real kids in need anyway . . . aren't you a kid with a doctor dad going to some really good medical-oriented high school?</p>
<p>I'm going to a medical magnet school....but I live with my mom who is a 4th grade teacher</p>
<p>my parents are divorced (my dad is a pilot)</p>
