[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles published its college matriculation information with all hooked people removed! I wish the local DMV schools would do this as well.

Those are impressive numbers for unhooked. [/quote]

This is really interesting.  They have higher GPAs than some of the DC privates.  Very few GPAs under 3.5. [/quote]

How do you know that? Full GPAs aren’t listed. [/quote]

There are very few kids with GPAs under 3.4 applying to colleges.  Just a trickle compared to the mass applying with GPAs above 3.6 and even above 3.8[/quote]

Did you mean to say top colleges? Surely you don’t think those with a GPA under 3.4 rarely apply to college at all.[/quote]

what are you talking about?  If you look at the Harvard Westlake acceptance schema, there are very few kids applying to colleges with a GPA under 3.4 and a large applying to colleges with a GPA over 3.8. 
This would indicated (in a rough way) that there are far more kids with higher GPAs than lower GPAs.  
In comparison at NCS (where my kid attends) there are quite a few kids with GPAs under 3.4 and often only a small handful above 3.8. [/quote]
