[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an extreme case, a student transferring in could be negatively affected if they look less accomplished than the students they graduate with. E.g. if the current private school offers no AP classes and the new school offers many and encourages freshmen and sophomores to start taking them, it's possible that the transfer student will end up with fewer AP tests. Same for grade deflation--a student could come in with a GPA that is solid for the current school but deflated relative to the new school. The good news is that there are places to talk about these sorts of things on the application. Definitely use the opportunity if you feel that your student's final profile looks less impressive due to the move.[/quote] Thanks. Good info.[/quote]
