[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There has been a significant discrepancy between top private school GPAs and the rest of the field for a very long time. There is nothing new under the sun. I know folks will say that colleges "understand" that Sidwell or STA grade harder than a public school or another private, but the most competitive colleges will not accept candidates with a lot of Bs and C's on their transcript. Even kids with "athletic" value. Not even if standardized tests are excellent[/quote] Are you a big 3 parent? Your kid is competing with their classmates (not the kids at the local public) for the most part. How does your kid stack up to their classmates? That's what you need to worry about.[/quote]
