[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But those are for schools that report GPA, which typically excludes privates.  The 2.6 is unweighted and there is usually a bump from private schools.[/quote]

Do you guys realize that many private schools don't weigh most (if any) classes, and there aren't minimum grades just for trying? I think MCPS parents have an overblown opinion of how superior their kids are. [/quote]

a 2.6 is still very low. If the kid is really smart and somehow just has the worst luck getting tough graders in high school, then OP is paying a private to destroy DS's chance of getting into a decent college. There's a whole lot of irony there [/quote]

I'm not the OP, but what is the irony? Don't project your resource hoarding, anything to get ahead world view on every private school parent. Some families opt for private schools to find an environment where their kids can be . . . gasp . . . happy, as well as physically and mentally healthy. [/quote]
