[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For selective colleges and universities what matters is the cumulative number of rigorous courses you take, which is generally rewarded with a GPA bump. What matters is how your student performs relative to their peers at their own school. Colleges have always found a way to adapt and identify the students that they feel with succeed and contribute at their institution. This won't be much different. I also disagree that 'most schools' have made this shift, at least not yet.[/quote] Yes, but now those kids who are taking the rigorous courses are more likely to be making A's And yes, I would say at least over half of schools have made this shift, and the rest will be following soon - it is very much in vogue and in educational circles is considered "best practices". I'm a former teacher and current sahm who keeps up with this stuff. [/quote]
