[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP...have you asked your school's college guidance counselor for input? They can help your son plug in his scores and make some "guesstimates" for you. Colleges evaluate high schools on a ranking scale...they know which ones are the toughest (private and public)...we'd really need to know which h.s. your son attends to make a guess and you wouldn't want to divulge that on an anonymous forum. Good luck with his choices![/quote] Do they actually rank high schools? I've always understood that they look at applicants within the context of their school and that they are familiar with the schools, but not that they rank them. That doesn't sound right to me.[/quote] They don't rank, but the regional admissions officers know the schools. They also scrutinize the curriculum, so taking easy classes won't work.[/quote]
