[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that colleges need to re-calculate GPAs or the whole thing doesn't make sense. My kid is at a school that doesn't weight at all. So, the highest possible GPA is 4.0. He has a cousin at a district in Texas that weights DE and AP classes at 6.0. The top quarter of the classes at their high school generally have GPA's well over 5.0. Does that mean that there are 100 or more students at that school who are stronger applicants to college than the valedictorian at my kid's school? Of course not. The only way to compare is by looking at the rigor and the unweighted grades. Which seems to be what schools do since my kid's school has strong college placement. [/quote]
