[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges review applicant's app and transcript within the context of applicant's high school. The Adcom will have school profile. It is important to remember though, they use this info to evaluate student's performance and NOT compare one HS with another. [/quote] OP here. I was just thinking that it seems very unfair to kids that can't afford private school or living in economically disadvantaged areas with less resources and therefore underperforming schools. But what you just said seems to make some sense. FWIW, the schools are Chantilly vs. South Lakes. I'll take any opinions.[/quote] I'd be surprised if a student was at a disadvantage for attending South Lakes rather than Chantilly, except that I think AP students have an advantage over IB students because they can take more AP tests before they apply to schools than IB students, who take many tests at the end of their senior year.
