[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is a HS sophomore so I am just dipping my toes into college admissions. I went to college in the 2000s, was at a competitive public Hs, so I have some preview of how to develop a strong application that tells a good narrative beyond good test scores and gpa. I know it has also gotten more competitive and arbitrary seeming. But the main point of confusion for me is it seems like everyone has a 4.0 these days. I know there is grade inflation - but seriously, not a single A- in 4 years of school? Where we are, a 4.0 average would put you in the top 1-2% of the class. Am I just seeing scores of other 1-2%ers? Or do other schools grade differently? [/quote]
