[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone above gpa cutoff (3.7-3.8) interviewed, right? The 170 admits are the top scorers (gpa plus interview score) right?  Are all the rest put in pure lottery order on the waitlist?[/quote]

During the School Without Walls Open House today, they said the GPA cutoffs were:

3.70 (2021)
3.73 (2022)[/quote]

How does that translate for schools that use a different system?

For example, if a school uses a grading system that goes up to 100%, then 90-92% translates to 3.7 and 93%+ translates to 4.0.  Does that mean that last year no one (from a school using the 100% system) was considered who wasn't at least at 93%?

Good question.  Some DC charters use the 100% grading system.  Assume kid #1 gets a 92% (a 3.7 under the Walls rubric) and kid #2 gets a 93% (a 4.0 under the Walls rubric).  These kids have pretty much identical grades but the rubric greatly favors the second kid (that is, treats that kid as equivalent to a kid who got a 100%).  Does that mean that kid #1 doesn't make a 3.73 cutoff but kid #2 does?
