<p>I think we always said there are outliers. But if someone has a below threshold GPA or SAT score, the chances that they will get in are very less, without a so called “hook” (athlete, talent, background…etc…etc) We haven’t seen ballerinamoms student profile (maybe she is a ballerina and she was her class valedectorian after all…:))…but I am sure her background was interesting and there is always someone like her who is more interesting to the adcom rather than the cookie cutter profiles they are used to seeing.</p>
