<p>What is like the around SAT/ACT scores avg and GPA avg? I really would love to go to this school. I saw the averages from college data and they seem a lot lower than I expected them to be. Is it true that most of these acceptances were because of sports? My cousin got rejected with a 4.0 GPA and 2300+ SAT score so I'm kind of worried. Please help. Thanks</p>

Since they are private they will have a more holisitic review of applications which would include EC’s, essays and letters of recommendation. I highly doubt that most of the acceptances were based on sports.<br>
It states on the website, “that numbers do not tell the whole story”. If you are interested, go ahead and apply.</p>
