I think cpt… is overly pessimistic. The top elite schools could pick students with near perfect SATs and all straight A’s. They don’t do that. They look at a lot of factors. My D had low grades in sophomore year. This greatly impacted her final gpa and class rank. She was admitted to her first choice, elite school anyway. She is a white female from a over represented suburban area and had nothing which would qualify as a hook.
