[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops. Meant "no valedictorians in MCPS high schools."[/quote] So, how do colleges know who the top ranked students are? If you are in a high performing MCPS school there will be los of straight A students. How do colleges know who is in the top 1% or top 5%?[/quote] That's where the weighted GPAs can help. It's an indication of the relative strength of the curriculum. So if 2 kids have 4.0s and one has a 4.6 weighted and the other a 4.2 you know the 4.6 kid has taken more challenging classes. Also we went to graduation this week and the 4.0 kids were asked to stand up and there weren't that many. Maybe 15-20? Many kids end up getting a least 1 B at some point. [/quote] I forgot about the weighted GPAs. Thanks![/quote]
