[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher recs count for far more than GPA and they aren't standardized. one teacher can give everyone 5/5 and the next teacher can give no one 5/5. They're totally subjective. GPA is just a tiny bit of what they take into account and it's weighed so that a 3.5 is the same as a 4.0. There's no benefit to having all As vs having half Bs. [/quote] Here is this year’s rubric. https://www.myschooldc.org/sites/default/files/dc/sites/myschooldc/page/attachments/SY24-25%20SWW_Admission%20Process%20Rubric_Final.pdf They have changed the GPA weighting so it’s more nuanced than PP describes (4.0 gets more points than even 3.8 this year), but it’s still true that teacher recommendations count for more than GPA. If a 4.0 kid didn’t get an interview it’s almost certainly because the recommendation scores weren’t high enough relative to other applicants. [/quote]
