<p>Tentatively, but likely:</p>
<p>UMich – eliminating rolling admissions
Stanford – eliminating recalculated GPA
Harvard – eliminating EA/ED
Princeton – eliminating ED
UVa – eliminating ED</p>
<p>This screws me over royally. Anyone want to add other colleges to this list?</p>
<p>EDIT: radron, I included the EA/ED changes I know about.</p>
<p>I am mad about UMich stopping rolling admission, I don’t really care if Stanford is eliminating recaluclated GPa, that’s good for me…</p>
<p>It would be nice to have a list of schools that don’ allow EA or ED anymore :)</p>
<p>Why’s Stanford eliminating recalculating GPA? That makes no sense.</p>
<p>Yea, but whatever…they will probably look at rank more now…</p>
<p>What is recalculated GPA? If it means that they are no longer recalculating one’s GPA once he or she applies, then this idea is completely ridiculous.</p>
<p>I don’t want them to look at rank so much…</p>
<p>But eliminating recalc. gpa is bogus.</p>
<p>Didn’t Yale eliminate ED?</p>
<p>Wow, this blows. I’m planning on applying to all of those schools.</p>
<p>Who cares if Early admission is over with, apply regular then…</p>
<p>With your logic sheed, maybe all schools should just throw out their early admissions policies, cause God knows they have no use.</p>
<p>Well, IMO i do not see any use for them except that you get your acceptance or rejection letter earlier. Who cares if there is a slightly higher acceptance rate for EA or ED, it’s not like if you had bad scores or grades during EA you will be looked over again.</p>
<p>How did Stanford calculate GPA?</p>
<p>And how will they now?</p>
<p>My school doen’t rank. >_> I think Yale terminated ED, but kept EA.</p>
<p>Sheed,</p>
<p>Stanford RD – 7 or 8 %
Stanford SCEA – 17 or 18%</p>
<p>Slightly higher? Mmk. And I’m pretty sure that if you’re not accepted, you’re automatically deferred, so yes, you do get a second look over.</p>
<p>Optimi.:
They throw out your freshman year grades, eliminate all +/-, and assign each letter grade a 4.0, 3.0, etc
And now…they don’t do that anymore. They’ll just take your high school UW GPA straight, from what I understand.</p>
<p>Thanks, Rence. :]</p>
<p>o Rence, I was just guessing…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>so people are upset that Stanford is actually using a REAL gpa and not just one that makes you look a little better? i guess students will just have to work a little harder to get the same GPA that they would have on the old system</p>
<p>Cards, I highly doubt that colleges that recalculate GPA put these practices into place to make applicants “look a little better.” Freshman year is often a transitional year for students, not just a time when people decide to be lazy and “work less hard.” At least it was transitional for me, after freshman year and I adjusted, I got stellar grades. And +'s and -'s are seen as irrelevant from colleges such as Michigan and Stanford…at least until now.</p>
<p>WHOA Michigan’s getting rid of rolling admissions??? Can I have a source for that?</p>
<p>Its somewhere in one of the college’s blogs or something. I can’t locate the link.</p>
