My kid has a much higher GPA than yours, is also gifted, and comparable SATs without studying too, but no ECs worth speaking of, and now it's face-the-music time for him, too. EC's apparently matter a lot.
With respect to how your GPA follows you around: My older kid got into the state u. years ago, and graduated with a 2.7 although gifted like you, and this GPA has kept her out of grad school. She did lots of things in college, was involved with student government, had awesome recommendations, but that GPA is king. That's the unfortunate take-home lesson: when you finally do get into college, study.
I know, this sounds like platitudes. Sorry. We finally learned from older sib's experience of the importance of the GPA, and now are being hit with the importance of ECs in college admissions. |
