[quote=Anonymous]Whether to submit and the actual result here are two different things. Maybe submit a 1500 at Duke, but if unhooked you are competing against a lot of kids with 1550+. Facts. GPA in the context of rigor/school is the primary factor and, sure, not submitting makes it look like you have a 1390, but submitting that 1500 pegs you at the low end of the competitive applicant pool (a pool that is first and foremost the pool of students applying from the same high school). This info communicated to us by our kid's guidance counselor at top non-DC private, who spent the last 12 years in admissions at what DCUMers like to characterize as a mid-tier Ivy. You can spin this thing however you want but 1500 and 1560 are not the same, and there's a reason schools publish those 25-75 spreads. Yes this is all very stupid but so are many other things in this country.[/quote]
