[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] Many privates don't report GPA. Since they pull from more states and often more from private high schools, the GPA figures mean much less than if you have most applicants from a state with a more consistent grading scheme. The reported GPAs at top Ivy schools from their common data sets may be lower than schools like UNC or UVA. (I believe they often report unweighted.) Since GPA isn't considered for USNWR, there is no ratings impact to a school to accept a kid with a lower GPA if they have good standardized test scores (and class rank if that is reported, and it often isn't reported either).
