[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In DMV what percent of High schoolers have 4.0s or greater (both public and private). I am guessing probably around 30% or more. So if there are 100k seniors in DMV that means close to 30k kids think they can get into a top school. Is this accurate thinking?[/quote] The valedictorian in DD's high school class went to nursing school, and not a top one. She wasn't all that smart, but she really, really cared about her GPA, and yes, she had a 4.0 when she graduated. I don't know what a 4.0 means, really. Some intellectually incurious kids at my child's high school have a 4.0. They aren't going to top schools, which recognize grade inflation and kids who take less strenuous classes to keep their perfect gpa. [/quote]
