[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because GPAs are inflated in Virginia. What public school is on a true, 4.0scale? None. The GPAs go up to 4.6+. [/quote] Yeah but it’s still easy to calculate the unweighted GPA, and it doesn’t explain why schools with lower incoming unweighted gpas would have a lower admittance rate. [/quote] Not really. The high schools don't report both. So you think Tech should create a process to redo all the GPAs when they're going to admit 70% of their applicants anyway? It makes sense for the Ivies to recalculate - they're admitting single digits. It doesn't makes sense for school that's admitting their majority to recalculate. What's more, recalculating will give them a lower average GPA, which some people seem to think is some huge sign when the rest of us know there's more to it than that.[/quote]
