Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 5299280, member: 1646"] I'm a UConn fan (school and sports). I have a daughter who almost went a few years ago. My comments about UConn were really meant to be separate from Syracuse (which I also have no problem with outside of the former rivalry). UConn is taking out of state kids with much lower credentials than Connecticut kids and I assume it's because they pay more (coupled with UConn's budget cuts). 3.76 is the average accepted gpa and its skewed by how many schools kids are applying to now. There are a bunch of kids that applied from our school with well over a weighted 4.0. None of them went, but it drives up the average gpa. My 2.8 was the extreme, but more than 50% of those with under a 3.3 got in. Throw in a standardized test and only 1 kid in the last 4 years has been rejected with a 1200 or better SAT and none with a 27 or better ACT regardless of gpa. [/QUOTE]
