[quote=Anonymous]Realize that Loudoun's calculation of GPA (which is on the generous side) will be recalculated to match others by any college she applies to--for instance most schools don't award "A+s" and don't give higher weighting so that will probably disappear in the recalculation. You need to compare it with how it aligns with others' in your school/county. If her GPA puts her roughly in the top 10% of GPAs and she's taking the most rigorous curriculum she's on track for UVA/W&M (depending of course on SATs). One bummer to be aware of also is that a great start can set her up for a "downward trend" if her grades dip a bit which colleges weigh that slightly worse than an upward trend as it raises questions about her ability to handle increased challenges.
