The average self-reported unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale was 3.94. Fifty-four percent of students reported a perfect 4.0, and the
lowest score reported was a 3.0.
Freshmen reported an average composite SAT score of 2237. The reported average subject
score was consistent across the three sections, with an average of 748 in the math section, 746 on writing, and 744 on critical reading.
"Standardized test scores and good grades will get a student in the door to have their application read," Rubin said. "But it's their extracurricular activities, leadership experience, exceptional talents, recommendation letters and personal essays that will move a student from a pile of 'maybes' to a pile of 'accepted.'"
