[quote=Anonymous]As somebody who went to a good but very large public school and who now has a kid in a Big 3, I have mixed feelings reading this thread. I don't think it is right/fair/what-have-you for private school college counselors to be contacting colleges to advocate for applicants; public school kids don't have that, and I'm perfectly fine with colleges not taking those calls. (And, really, someone at a HYP admissions office doesn't have time for thousands of calls.) But the big changes in public from when I attended are all these weighted grades and the arms race to have the most challenging courses and the highest GPA. I certainly do expect our school to do a bang-up job explaining to colleges what grades at the school really mean, and if that has to be in writing along with the transcript, it ought to be done there.[/quote]
