[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they do not rank, do not calculate gpa, and do not weight AP/Advance courses? If colleges do not have this information, does that mean LOR is the most important thing? [/quote] Colleges can easily calculate GPA and figure out which classes would be weighted at other schools. This isn't a problem. [/quote] But they can't know where a kid stands compared to the class as a whole in terms of how rigorous their pathway was and the GPA of students in the rigorous path vs not. This sort of profile cannot show a college that the person with a 3.89 with all rigorous courses lined up against classmates with a similar schedule and it's not as obvious if there is a classmate with less rigor when it isn't marked on the transcript (which it isn't). It makes colleges work harder to see these differences. But - it is what it is....[/quote]
