My son just got a call that they are not accepting anyone from the SCS priority wait list either.

It kind of sucks that he (and I’m sure many others) went to a lot of trouble to write a nice letter and get another teacher recc to add to the file.

I have to say I’m really surprised. On paper my son had stats that looked like CMU was a match. His SATs were 800V, 770M, 790V; SAT 2s: 800s on Math 2, Physics and Chemistry. He has also taken 12 AP courses, mostly in math and science and scored mostly 4s and 5s.

However, his GPA was only 92UW, which is a little below the accepted GPAs that Naviance shows for our school. (Though the weaker grades were in social studies and English.)

Go figure…
