Ordinarily, I'd troll the hell out of you OP. But I'll be perfectly honest with you. I have no doubt all of the T14 have reached low at times. On that note, there is no floor. Yale would accept a 2.1/135 in a heartbeat if they could see the upside of doing so. My guess is that the vast majority of these super low numbers are celebrities (actors, royalty, children of business magnates, etc.). Grades are going to be irrelevant to little Prince George. Does that mean you have a shot with a 3.13/152? Hell no. For the rest of us mortals, you need that same 3.75+/174+/great softs. Otherwise, you have 0 chance.

I suspect that his work with the career maintenance staff is what really put him over the top.
