[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better to have a low test score than a GPA lower than 3.75UW. They say our kids shouldn't stress about grades -- then they make it ALL about grades. You can't have a bad day or a bad year because your 1500 SAT won't make up for those Bs even if was in AP classes. [/quote] This is why TO should go away. Someone who has a UW3.6 but took high rigor classes and gets a 1560 on SAT belongs in a elite college, someone who has a UW4.0 but took easier classes , or has grade inflation, and gets a 1290 does not.[/quote] +1,000,000[/quote] Yet Ivies admit the second type of kids, if they like their story, and they end up doing just fine.[/quote] +1 Weighting one bad test day heavily over years of hard work, especially if high-rigor classes, makes no sense. I would question whether students who get Bs in high school courses are capable of doing the work at an elite school. Their classes will be far more challenging than APs.[/quote]
