[quote=Anonymous]Pet peeve about college admissions in general: GPA recalculation implies that it's possible to standardize GPA. Out of one side of their mouth, colleges say, yes, we take your high school into account, and out of the other side, they recalculate in this vain attempt to standardize GPA. I've had kids in more than one high school. At School A, it is harder, and more work, to get great grades than at School B. Next kid has uw 4.0 at School B, and we are happy about that, though there's a little wrinkle that School B is changing to Standards Based Learning/grading next year, halfway through his high school career. Any comments on how SBL affects grades/GPA for top students? Any pitfalls to look out for, as the school seems to have little idea of what it is doing, merely jumping into this trend?[/quote]
