[quote=Anonymous]I'm the first former admissions counselor. The haggling over whether or not the child's GPA is accurate are silly. Colleges care more about rank than the GPA. We put a lot of effort into determining class rank so that students at schools with different grading systems will not be disadvantaged. It generally works out. If that student from NCS was indeed in the top 1/3 (which is absolutely possible at a school that does not weight and hates to give out A's) than it doesn't matter if her GPA was a 3.48 or 3.79. If the rank was the same, the GPA is not a factor. The reason college admissions counselors call school counselors and pore over profiles and transcripts is so that they can make accurate decisions.
