[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll get plenty of people on here who claim AP scores are not considered during admissions. [b]Sorry, but an admissions officer who knows grades are inflated and can't easily be compared between one school system and another will be interested to find that "top" student A earned 5 out of 5 on their AP exams, and "top" student B earned 3.[/b] Same principle for SAT, ACT and IB scores. They all cut across the gpa noise and provide a national basis of comparison. At similar gpa, it really shows you which school inflates grades and which school doesn't. [/quote] To say this you cannot simply go by our own kid and a few of their friends, you would need data of all kids and across multiple years, IMHO. Otherwise it is subjective to say one kid got an A but only a 3 on the test, hence all kids must have inflated grades. What about the majority of A students in that class who got a 5? Do the few with 3 negate their rigor/skills ?[/quote]
