[quote=Anonymous]Threads like this are baffling. Big 3 parents who spend tens of thousands of dollars a year in tuition really have to come on to this silly website to ask basic questions about how their school’s grading systems impacts college admissions? Seriously? What on earth are you paying all that money for? Sigh. Here’s the deal. I’d use all caps and scream it, but that would be rude. Every high school in America includes a detailed school profile with a student’s transcript. Among other things, the profile explains the grading system. So adcoms know exactly what a 3.5 GPA from your snooty little fancy private school means. Your kids are not being compared with 4.6 GPAs coming out of local publics. Adcoms are smart enough and experienced enough to know how to interpret the transcript of a Big 3 applicant. My God, people, relax. [/quote]
