“Academic criteria are important to Yale’s selective admissions process, but we look at far more than test scores and grades… every applicant brings something unique to the admissions committee table.
Perhaps one application stands out because of sparkling recommendations, while another presents outstanding extracurricular talent; maybe your personality shines through a powerful written voice.”
“Even perfect test scores don’t guarantee admission. Far from it: 69% of Stanford’s applicants over the past five years who scored a perfect score on the SAT were rejected… we’re also looking for evidence that this young person has a passion, that he or she will bring something to our community that is unique.“
Stanford accepted 2,114 students.
25,518 students had a 4.0 GPA or above.
For every 1 spot available at Stanford, there are 12 students that apply with a 4.0+ GPA.
UC Berkeley accepted 14,429 students. 40,706 students had a 4.0 GPA or above.
For every 1 spot available at Berkeley, there are ~3 students that apply with a 4.0+ GPA.
UC Davis had 41,684 students apply with a 3.7 to 4.0+ GPA
Only 25,580 of those students were admitted
That means 16,104 students were still rejected with a competitive GPA for UC Davis.
These 3 factors are so powerful & important that universities are accepting students who have lower GPA and SAT scores, but fulfill these 3 factors, OVER students with higher GPA & SAT scores.
In fact, top universities COMMONLY reject students with perfect GPA and SAT scores if they don’t have these 3 factors.
No, we’re not talking about gender, race, or income.
These 3 factors are 100% within your control if you want to make sure your child has the best chances of getting into a top university.
And yes, you can even do these when your child is in the 6ᵗʰ-12ᵗʰ grade, but the earlier they start, the more powerful it will be.
All will be explained in the webinar.
