[quote=Anonymous]I just think the premise is flawed. You aren't going to find an Edison student to compare to an exactly situated TJ student. Almost every TJ student will have had math and science classes (and quite possibly other classes) that the Edison student did not have a chance to take. Most academic classes in every discipline at TJ are Honors, AP, or Post AP (according to their website). So you can't really compare a GPA with someone from Edison not in the same classes. And an Edison student with a SAT score of 2150 might be at the top of the class, while that would be average at TJ. So you would expect the top of the class Edison student to probably have higher GPA than a middle of the class student at TJ. There goes the "exact" comparison on GPA (also on class rank). I think we can agree that top of both classes will have their choice of colleges. I don't think we can construct an "exactly similar" student. [/quote]
