[quote=Anonymous]For all of you who are worried about GPAs..... Colleges know school systems can manipulate policies to get higher GPAs. It's not just MCPS; lots of systems have been doing this. Colleges know that our honors classes are not the same content and rigor as they were 15 years ago. They know the inflated impacted recent grading policies have on GPAs. I'm sure the number has some value in the college admission process, but I'm also sure that colleges take it with a grain of salt and look at other factors with more weight than 20 years ago. A kid with a 4.53 weighted GPA but a 1060 on the SATs and 2s on AP exams is not going to overshadow a kid with a 3.96 weight GPA, 1360 on the SATs, and 4s on AP exams. [/quote]
