[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. His school still follows the AP curriculum but also offers post AP classes. He would have taken 12 APs and 2 post APs in math by the time he graduates. School calculates GPA on a scale of 100, but he has the equivalent of a 4.0 unweighted ( mostly A+s in all classes ). Intended major would be along the lines of economics/ finance / accounting . [/quote]

This may be the issue: school is not a top private. Top privates don’t give out As easily let alone have 15% of the class getting A+. We have friends in lower tier private with similar profile. Thought bc they were top of class they could aim of r schools like Brown and Dartmouth ED; all  rejected and ended up at schools like Wesleyan and Middlebury during RD. [/quote]

This is not correct.  My kid is at a top private in another city which grades on a 100 scale.  Median grade is probably a 92.  Top kids have a weighted grades above 100.  We have a limited number of AP classes.  Twenty percent of class to Ivies/ Stanford /Mit.  Another 30 percent to T30 colleagues and T10 slacs.  [/quote]
