[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our private school that doesn't have grade inflation, [b]ivies mostly look at the gpa as a number and don't put much weight on rigor. [/b]Kids game the system by choosing the non-rigor course to get their gpa as high as possible. The ivy admits are not nearly as smart as kids who go to MIT, Georgia Tech, CMU, JHU. [/quote] This is absolutely not true. Your private HS may have found a way to make it difficult for the AOs to distinguish rigor among classes (especially if your school does not offer APs). But for most schools, public and private, this statement is simply false.[/quote]
