2008 Admits by GPA
Please keep in mind that GPA is just a statistic because there are a number of critical factors including rigor of curriculum (AP/honors courses), recommendations, tests, co-curricular activities, grade trends (upward or downward) throughout high school, and other extenuating circumstances. Keep in mind, as well, that students with these cumulative GPAs were also denied at the same universities.
