But the article is missing some key information:
GPA 4.1 our of what? 4.1 out of 4?
What were the SAT test scores? She says 1100, was that 700 Reading and 400 Math? "The average SAT score for the class of 2021 was 1060, up by nine points from the class of 2020, according to a report from the College Board, which administers the SAT." Something's off here.
Sounds like she needs to go to Junior College to prove herself aiming to get into a school of her choice.
However, I have to wonder how a black female would not be readily accepted into a College STEM?
All she needs to do is change her social media to say she’s transitioning to an it/something, put up a lot of Ukraine flags and rail against white privilege, and bobs yer uncle she’d get accepted 🤣🤣🤣
1100 on the SAT is not impressive, so no one should be surprised if she was tmrejected from top schools
Just having the name C’Lette should have gotten her into Harvard.
Schools track grades at schools
Some high schools inflate grades to push out students
Those SATs are terrible for someone trying to do a legit STEM program at a good college. Also telling, she didn’t share her AP exam scores.
I'm surprised too. Recruiters should be at her door. They need her for the covers of their brochures.
4.1 GPA and 1100 SAT - hmmm.
Grade inflation does not translate to SAT inflation.
McDonalds is hiring.
She says she took nine AP classes. I suspect she got high grades in the classes but did poorly on the AP exams.
Yes, 4.1 out of 4.
This is due to AP (Advance Placement) classes being viewed as "extra credit," and enabling one to boost one's GPA.
Regards,
That is a low SAT score. The resume sounds great otherwise, especially being a black female applying for STEM. She must have really bombed interviews and essays.
My son has a degree in the STEM field. Every single school that sent him literature had girls on the cover photos. The school he attended was very small with only a handful of female students. (He said that none of them were the ones on the literature.)
Watch Rudy? Does she have Down’s ?
> did nine AP classes <
If that’s true, it’s VERY impressive. I’m a retired high school teacher. And I know of many capable students who avoided AP classes because they simply didn’t want to do the extra work.
> 4.1 out of 4? <
Probably. Because AP classes are so difficult (freshman college level, actually) AP grades are given more weight. For example, an ‘A’ in regular physics is a 4.0. An ‘A’ in AP physics is usually a 4.25.
Tell her to go to Community College, learn to code. Or, learn to weld.
“For one high schooler, despite her high overall average when she sent out college applications, she was shocked to receive more rejections in the mail than she hadn’t been anticipating.”
We refered to the rejection letters as FOADs and plastered the wall with them.
Many schools now give extra credit scores for taking AP classes, and she loaded up on those. That her GPA wasn’t actually higher, given that her school clearly does that, is telling.
My guess would be that she scored just above average on both the math and verbal sections. If she took classes at a college with students who were her intellectual peers, she could probably pursue her chosen major well enough to pursue a career in it, given some other obvious advantages.
Ever since they revised the SAT scoring 1100 is at best average for a competent student (40 years ago 1100 was above average but even then not Ivy League)
a GPA of 4.1 (out of 4.0) with a SAT of 1100 screams institutional malfeasance, this girl was sold a set of lies and pushed through without the academic rigor a 4.0 used to indicate in the past.
I have seen many students think they are much more prepared than they are, only to be severely disappointed or remain delusional and dangerous. Our academic institutions are doing worse than failing students; they are destroying them with false beliefs and inflated self importance.
There are no “top” schools. None. Most schools are also experiencing less students than seats lately. This competitive admissions things is propaganda to generate hype in a school. Those competitive admissions school are usually the lowest performers with the best marketing hype. They are also usually large schools where kids get lost quickly and do poorly.
It is far better to find a good school that fits other criteria such as location, political ideology (weed out liberal schools), environment, safety, cost, and then buckle down to study.
Another question is what colleges did she apply to? Which did she consider safeties? Where did she get accepted? What was the unweighted GPA?
1100 is an ok test score, but since test optional, only kids scoring 1350 and above seem to be submitting them. Test optional allow colleges to use “holistic” admissions, which allows them to choose who they want without proof of any racist intentions.
She should put on her applicator she’s a lesbian... wants to kill conservatives, hates Trump and believe ‘free speech’ should only be for liberals ...
In like Flynt...
