[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not really getting your whole point, to be honest…no one said that they kids who are taking non-AP/IB classes and working hard in other ways aren't smart and worth a lot, but that doesn't justify you putting down the kids who take the AP/IB route. There is no need to put down some for the sake of others. And, yes, I agree about the difficulties of getting into UVA for kids in No VA, but there are 11 public universities in Virginia that are good and kids get a great education. Again, why would you put down kids who go to the other public universities? Virginia residents are so lucky to have so many public options! Just ask people in surrounding states who do not have the list of public options (i.e. Washington, DC which has no public option!!).[/quote]

Did you read the article, past point #1 that all grades are not created equal? Just because AP classes inflate kids GPAs ... SAT scores remain flat.

The point about UVA is if all colleges cared about was "rigor" and GPA then UVA would most have kids from nova, but it doesn't, why... Because colleges care about so many other factors than GPA and rigor. GPA is subjective.[/quote]
