maybe a silly question, but are they mainly just going to look at GPA from now on? I like the idea of having some kind of entrance test be it ACT or SAT, since you can't really fake your way through that. The fact that so many HS seniors these days have like 4.8 GPAs kinda devalues the whole system

Yeah it will be GPA + Demographics. I suppose they actually read the essays now too.

I was really pissed about them changing it up for my class. I didn’t give a shite in HS so I had like a 4.2 GPA when everyone else had a 4.5.

Of course my counselor told me that with my 36 ACT my GPA was enough to get into almost any non-ivy league school. I did end up getting in to all the ones I wanted, but I was deferred for all of them because early action was entirely based on GPA. It pissed me off and created a lot of added stress in my life for a couple months.
