[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Unweighted GPA’s seem to be the gold standard when measuring students. Even scholarships and merit use UW GPA.[/b] So, if that’s the case, is rigor for nothing? Outside of the top 30 colleges, are students better off mixing in easier classes and sweeping up with A’s? [/quote] Not true. At all. A lot of public schools use unweighted GPA for admissions and automatic merit aid. Rigor absolutely matters. A B in an AP class has the same mathematical value as an A in the base version of that subject but has more value during the assessment process.[/quote] +1. not true at all. Top schools want to see the applicant has taken the most rigorous courses that the school offers. That equates to a high weighted GPA. [/quote]
