Calling bullshite on that. A 4.2 GPA would mean he's in AP classes and is getting straight As and Bs.


This could be a 5.0 scale. And even so, honors courses can be weighted higher.

“It’s not been too great for me and some of the other members in the movement,” Hogg told Levin. “We got rejected from … UCLA, and UCSD, so it’s been kind of annoying having to deal with that, and everything else that’s been going on, but at this point, it’s, you know, we’re changing the worl


Is he implying they were rejected because of the "movement"?

Other schools in the state/region etc.

A friend of mine - her kid was in the top 12% of his original HS, but to make it into Univ of Texas, he needed to be in the top 10% so he transferred and got a full ride to UT as a result......b/c the school he attended was garbage. So some of these universities will "weight" your school.

Damn this kid sure has hurt a lot of feelings around here.

Thoughts and prayers for those devastated most by the kid’s comments.

I’m surprised he was accepted into Cal Poly. They get 70,000 apps for 2,000 placements. And, preference is given to CA residents.

no it's not, but he's prog hero david hogg. I think his grades and scores are probably heavily inflated for him not to be packing his bags for Yale.
A 1270 puts him at about the 85th percentile nationally out of all test-takers, which is equivalent to about 27 on the ACT. The average SAT of those admitted to UCLA is 1350 and 1250 is 25th percentile. So his scores are solid overall but below average for top universities.

What's funny is I can guarantee he got rejected because he's a white male.

So the standard is just the schools themselves.

Sort of like Carroll to Neville in Monroe I would assume.

I never know what to make of the ACT and SAT scores these days. It seems like they have changed and higher scores are not as rare as they once were.

Back when I was in high school (late 80’s), I remember only two kids making over a 30. One of them ended up being General Councel for a Vice President of the United States and a Deputy AAG at the DOJ. The other was a newspaper editor last I heard.

Now that I’ve got kids in high school, hearing them talk about it, above a 30 seems much more common.
