[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These universities have been around for a long time and have seen many students from the nations public and private high schools come and go.  They are familiar with many of these high schools and are able to interpret the different transcripts.[/quote]

I'm sure they do, but it also gives them a lot of latitude in accepting students.
If they wish, they can "overlook" what they know to be a high school with inflated grades and less rigorous instruction.[/quote]

They are accepting students not high schools.  Call me crazy but most 14 -18 years are not deciding where they live or attend high school.  Some make the absolute most of what is offered to them and find ways to enrich their own education regardless of the status of their high school and some do not.  I want the kids that find the way to go above and beyond and squeeze the best education possible out of what they are offered.[/quote]

PP here. I don't disagree with you but stating the obvious with my previous comment. I'm not opposed to giving deserving kids a chance. [/quote]
