I talked to admissions at sdsu. Kid applied to bio. 4.2 gpa, 97th or 98th perc SAT. Pretty sure 98th.

Guy said it was most brutal yr ever for bio at sdsu

Other majors, much easier.

Very major and time dependent.

General school numbers of likely admisdion no longer really a useful guide.

Even the admissions person seemed a little stunned that kid missed the cutoff.

Very very different year by year.

Got into bio at ucsb. On the old days, the result wouldve been flipped.

Feel like HLS talking about refi criteria.
