[quote=Anonymous]Maybe a public school analogy would be helpful. Example: UVA expects higher GPA, better SAT/ACT scores (if submitted), more AP courses, and better ECs from a student at Langley HS in FCPS than they expect from a student in a small rural county in SW Virginia coal country with limited rigor available. To some degree, for college admissions a student is competing with classmates at their school. Being top 5% at school A might have better college admissions chances than being in the 11-20% bracket at School B, assuming one is studying the same topics and is taking "most rigorous" options available at each school -- even when school A offers a bit less max rigor than school B does - and of course assuming same SAT/ACT scores by the student.[/quote]
