[quote=Anonymous]Our HS never specified the criteria for top 5% award, and doing the math, it actually went to slightly more than 5% of the class, so we concluded that they did not base it strictly on a GPA cut off. For a variety of reasons, we suspect they gave it to everyone with an unweighted 4.0 GPA, but we really don't know. There are reasons to second guess whatever the criteria are -- the fact that AP/IB/Honors classes are all weighted the same, yet can be of radically different degrees of difficulty for one. But the bottom line is that the award is of no use for the regular college admissions process since it is not announced until April or May.[/quote]
