[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s just recalculating.  It is not the same thing as using the high school’s weighting.[/quote]

Exactly. They don’t use the high school weighting. They use their own.

Well I have yet to see any student under a 4.0 get into UMCP this year on college confidential unless their weighted was above 4.0. I highly doubt the kids admitted here are smarter than these top schools with lower GPA averages. Something doesn’t add up here.

Looking at average GPA here:

UMCP 4.3

Penn 3.9
Brown 4.0
UC Berkeley 3.8
Harvard 4.1
UMich 3.8
MIT 4.1
Wisc 3.8
Notre Dame 4.0
BU 3.6
Georgetown 4.0
USC 3.7
Williams 4.0 
UVA 4.1

So you’re saying that the GPA of kids admitted to Maryland is higher than that of kids admitted to Harvard, Penn, MIT, Brown, Williams, etc? That is so delusional that it straddles the line between funny and scary [/quote]

That is exactly what Prep Scholar says for all of these GPA’s. Just verified them all. Only ones higher are a few UC’s which specifically state they DO count and use weighted grades 10th and 11th grade.  But they at least, as a state, cap OOS enrollment to 15% and have at least 6 state schools worth applying to. [/quote]
