Stories of 3.6gpa(or around that) getting in top 25 school

<p>Does anyone know of any student who was accepted into any ivy-league or top 25 school with a 3.6 gpa/4.0(or around that)? this would be considering that their testing was on par or better than the top 25 school standards and their ec's and essays were decent/excellent. </p>

<p>Please share.</p>

<p>There were two students last year at my school who were accepted to Brown. They had some great Ec’s but their gpa wasn’t that great but they were accepted. I was surprised that the top students didn’t get accepted to the top schools i herd one of them flunked out of school, they didn’t have great Ec’s from what I know.</p>

<p>I have herd that with Ivies they just don’t look at numbers but you as an individual.</p>
