[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] Unweighted? No way.[/quote] There are very few kids with 4.0s unweighted. Look in Scattergrams and switch to unweighted. Only a handful at our very large W school. 4.0 weighted - that's another story and not considered high.[/quote] OP is imagining things. The percentage of kids with 4.0 unweighted is less than 10%. My kid’s graduating class from a magnet school had ~5% of students honored for a 4.0. Kids with strong grades will get into colleges, even if they don’t have a 4.0. If a straight A student didn’t get accepted to the schools they applied to, then they ignored all advice on how to pick matches and safeties.[/quote]
