[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. Unweighted grades are the death knell[/quote] Oh, boloney. We've had 2 kids apply to college from a "Big 3" that doesn't weight grades or compute class rank. ITA with the PP who suggested that the key here is whether the school counselors are doing an effective job of conveying to colleges how rigorous the curriculum is. Our kids' school does an OK job of that, 'tho they could probably do better; even so, we do not feel our kids suffered any adverse consequences. The greatest impact might be on the kids who are just below that top-10-15%, but, even then, I would certainly not characterize the impact as a death knell. [/quote]
