[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone familiar with this website?  Our school uses to generate lists but seems of limited utility since it uses unweighted gpa and does not otherwise account for level of rigor, and not school specific for historical admissions.  Maybe I am missing something about its value?[/quote]

OMG. Nobody uses weighted GPAs  - colleges certainly don’t.  It’s worthless. Nothing above 4.0 matters. Are you unaware that how some grades are given additional points isn’t even the same in some states amongst different county school systems?   And the best privates and boarding schools don’t add extra weight to grades in honors/AP/advanced classes at all? [b] Weighted GPAs are a ridiculous gimmick of pretentious suburban public schools[/b]. [/quote]

Can you stop commenting this on every thread. Thanks. [/quote]

I’ll stop posting it when people stop acting like GPAs over 4.0 are real and meaningful. Post the real GPA and # of honors/AP classes but enough with the lame weighted crap. [/quote]

None of us care, we just ignore you.  Rigor of coursework is definitely something schools consider.[/quote]

Of course Colleges consider rigor - as part of the overall application - but they throw out weighted GPAs and only factor GPAs on the standard 4.0 scale.  Colleges also dont use weighted GPAs in their published numbers.   Ya know why?  Because only losers who are insecure about where their kid goes to school drone on and on about it. [/quote]
