Success in our science programs most closely correlates with class rank .....[snip]
I can tell you that on average we like to see a student who is in the top
10% of her high-school class, and has a composite ACT score of 27 or higher,
and fairly consistent performance across the four ACT areas. If a person
has an ACT score of 30, and a GPA of 3.75, but has class rank below roughly
80%, there is a good chance he is bright but not very motivated. Some like
this will rise to the challenge of college. But many, when the going gets
rough, drop out or at least seek a less demanding major.
