HS GPA Breakdown of Students Accepted to an Elite College

Threads asking this already exist in some of the school specific forums. Look up the schools that are on your radar and you’ll see students posting their stats.

My daughter had an unweighted 4.0 all the way through high school. Accepted/attending a top 10 engineering program in their honors college. Piano - competition and accompanying 9 -12, Theater 9 - 12, Mission trips and volunteer work 9 - 12, Sci Oly 11- 12, Leadership programs (two year long program mentoring 9th/10th graders with guidance office, retreat and volunteer project leader), 11 - 12, Volleyball 9 - 10, countless STEM summer programs, and a part time job. Loads of awards related to engineering and STEM. Very STEM heavy curriculum, most rigorous course schedule offered at her school.

She also had a rejection and wait list from her high reach and a low reach, and then acceptances to the rest (varied from safeties to another low reach).
