My son got in CEHD with a 3.65 CUM GPA (they don’t unweight at his school so this is weighted) and 30 ACT. AP Stats, AP Calc, AP Psych, AP Human Geo, IB Lit, IB Lang. In his 2nd year as Business/Marketing in CEHD and enjoying it very much. He initially wanted Carlson but was rejected which I think was a good thing, CEHD is a much better fit for him. He would have hated Carlson honestly. And he did NOT find out until the end of January.
Good luck!
