[quote=Anonymous]Grade deflation exists at most good preps, Sidwell included, but I wouldn't get too carried away. It is more important for colleges to look at Sidwell kids versus each other than saying something like "a B here is just like an A elsewhere". A "B" at Sidwell is just a B at Sidwell. Since that school doesn't do the silly inflators to have kids at a WGPA of a 4.7 or something like that doesn't mean that a "B" at Sidwell is undisputedly better than an "A" in an honors or AP course at say a Langley or an Oakton or a Whitman. There are great students in publics and their exceptional record shines too and no less bright. I think it is more like a 3.5 at Sidwell is quite good. Just like a 4.5 WGPA at a public is quite good. No two things are a direct compare with a wratchet. [/quote]
