[quote=Anonymous]Is this a school the regional college reps will be familiar with? For example, in the DC area college regional reps are aware that some public and private high schools are tougher than others, and they weight the GPA accordingly, either subjectively or with their own reweighting schemes. If your kid scores highly on APs or SAT II subject tests, that's another way to demonstrate mastery of the material outside of the GPA, and suggests his school is really hard. As for the whole work ethic thing, I too have a smart freshman boy who could be putting more effort in. If you figure it out, let me know.[/quote]
