Yesterday we got a letter with the following info explaining why S was not directly admitted to COE:

-they look at ACT scores, with an emphasis on math (S had a 35C and a 36 in math)); strong college prep curriculum (11 APs, including calc and computer science, plus several college classes in CS), and class rank or GPA (S’s issue–had a lot of Bs as a sophomore, so despite a 4.8 wgpa junior year, only 37% with a 4.02 W).

The middle 50% of COE enrolled students is a 28-32, and 96% were in the top 10% of their class.

Just thought I’d pass this along in case people are trying to figure out chances–strong test scores and upward trends apparently do not make the cut. They are really emphasizing grades and rank, so those with less than perfect scores but strong grades should be fine, vice versa not so much.

Good luck everyone!
