<p>I am huge SLC hopeful, and I disagree that this is a huge reach GPA-wise. They have accepted students with 2.0’s before.</p>
<p>… However, they must have had VERY strong writing abilities and great reccomendations… those are both huge factors for SLC applicants. If your friend is not a strong writer/does not enjoy writing, this is definitely not the school for her. Conferences papers total from anywhere to 20-50 pages, and thats in every class. So I dont think her GPA is of huge concern, but if the writing doesn’t come through and her academic background isn’t strong, she won’t be highly considered at all.</p>
<p>Hampshire would be a better fit if she likes the SL system… however, they still do have a large focus on writing. From what I hear, it’s just not as academically intense.</p>
