[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:38 here. 
My student was in the top 10% at the beginning of 12th grade, with 5 APs and 1 DE at that time. Applied to college Early Decision and was accepted with a 4.24 GPA. We only knew that they were in the top 10% because there was a system glitch where the students were able to see their actual ranking.

The APs and DE courses add a 1.0 bump to GPA. By graduation, and with all A's in senior year, my student had a 4.38 GPA by graduation. Not sure what % that is but the counselor did say that the HS class prior had a 4.25 GPA and above for the top 10%.

I am guessing kids who are in the top 10% take 8-10 APs:
10th- 1 
11th- 3/4
12th- 4/5- This is the 4 core courses + Foreign language, which the more competitive colleges say they like to see.

Thank you for saying that it's impressive. I sat back and marveled at watching my student. I posted a lot of questions on DCUM over the years.  It has been so interesting to see and understand how it works.

Certainly an achievement to be very proud of. Congratulations to your student and you too, and thanks for sharing.[/quote]
