My daughter’s valedictorian (not great ECs…not bad but not great) had 10-11 APs, a 4.0 UW so likely a 4.6 weighted at 1 for AP and .5 for Honors. 36 ACT. Applied to 16 of the top 20 and was 0 for 16.
She’s at UTK. Also admitted full price NYU.
All these kids that think name your school is a slam dunk…they’re wrong.
