The CDS is certainly fact. However, I have to believe that it is not so cut and dried. A friend of my DD (now a freshman at another college) was admitted to UM with < 1300 SAT AND offered a merit scholarship. I’m sure she was all around (sports, but not a star, music, community service), and I don’t know her GPA.

I think it’s important to consider (for admittance) your high school’s Naviance, and how you compare to others from your high school who are applying. That seems to make a difference around here (Long Island, NY)



These days, You might not get in even with a 1300 combined.



I guess this could be true, if you have a terrible GPA (indicating that you are not working up to your potential), but this kind of comment is really not helpful, IMO.
