@goldenrock - California is an outlier full of very talented people who don’t get admitted to their own state schools. I see their admitted student profiles and dont know why their LizzyM numbers are so low compared to their talent pool.

Older D didn’t get a single interview in California despite attending Stanford and scoring interviews with 6 of the top 10 schools. 3 of the 4 not interviewing - California schools! Amazingly enough, she was admitted by Caltech/UC San Diego combined program and didn’t get an interview there either.

Most Texas schools do call people for interviews starting from the top of the pool. GPAs are very high for most of the admitted students. Very similar at most other state schools where they start with the highest averagers and work their way down for instate students. Many are rolling admissions and if you dont make interviews very early on, it is hard to get in later.
