[quote=Anonymous]This thread seemed to have devolved pretty quickly with public school parent input. But, the actual answer for A/A- students from "top local private" high schools are the top colleges. Potomac, Maret, GDS, StA/NCS, Sidwell, Visi, Holton do not have grade inflation. They don't weight grades and very few students have 4.0 GPA. GPAs of 3.8 may be "a dime a dozen" at public schools, but not the better privates. Most of the better privates are too small to use Naviance. So the best way to understand chances is from your school's college counselor. Neither my DC nor most of the Ivy students from my DC's high school had 4.0s. But, they stood out in other ways. BTW full pay doesn't matter, unless you scroll down to the second tier colleges w/o need blind and no loan policies.[/quote]
