[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s less about absolute GPA and more about how that GPA stacks up against the kid’s peers at the school. Basically think rank instead of GPA. You also don’t know the extent to which kids are hooked. It’s for these reasons that it’s not a good idea to try to compare outcomes with your local public (or any other school, to be honest). There are plenty of lower-ranked schools that offer decent merit aid to good students. Stay open to those schools and your in-state options. That can be difficult in a private school setting depending on the school.[/quote] I didn’t think private schools in the DC area ranked kids or even reported average GPAs to colleges… Are there any that do? I’ve heard of some that have reported who’s a big donor though…[/quote] They don’t need an official rank, exactly. They know how you stack up against your classmates and also get an indication from the counselors.[/quote]
