[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weighted does tell you more when looking at the same school/district. I was surprised that a MoCo student I know with a 4.0 UW had only a 4.63 W, whereas my kid who has a 3.95 UW has a 4.83 W. Clear signal that the rigor is different, which I had not realized.[/quote] yes the key for parents is that the GPA is evaluated in context of the rigor and within the school . AOs know the GPA trends of each high school, they track it across years on their own scoir/naviance. Plus the school report gives context to the current class, typically listing the quintile cutoffs or other metrics. course rigor is always more important than UW GPA, especially for the elite/ivies [/quote]
