<p>GPA and class rank are important, as well as SAT and ACT scores. I am not trying to be offensive, but I am suprised to hear that KPMid09 got in with a 2.9 gpa. I was told I barely made the cut with a 3.2 and a 1430 SAT score which I thought was pretty good.</p>
<p>As far as having a learning disability, understand that getting into this school is obviously what you are focused on, but once you get in, it certaintly is not easy. The engineering courses require a lot of work just to get by. Your son should ask himself if he is willing to work even harder than everyone else for four years. I would actually say that getting in is the easiest part. The next easiest part of KP would be plebe year. The courses seem to get harder as time goes on, and it requires quite a lot of motivation to keep going. This school is no easy task, and having a learning disability wont make it any easier. I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble, just being realistic…</p>
