[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Asian-American, the bar is the highest for my kid. With grade inflation at school there is no way they can differentiate between my student and others based on just GPA anymore. I like SAT/ACT, SAT Subject Exams, AP/IB as an impartial, race-blind way to quantify academic achievement. I am all for it because there is nothing better right now. I do not look at AP and IB as a way to earn college credit, rather I see it as a signaling device to the admission committee of the most selective colleges and courses for my kid. God knows, we can afford to pay full tuition...in a state school...LOL. [/quote] For in-state public colleges GPA and SATs are pretty much all you need, regardless of race. Sorry your child isn't interesting enough to get into a school you can brag about. [/quote]
