[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having gone through this process, I would much rather be a college applicant with a 4.5 GPA from Gonzaga/Landon/Bullis than a 88/89 GPA from St. Albans. No, top grades are not sufficient for elite college admissions, but they are necessary. [b]Almost no one gets into the Ivies without a near-perfect GPA[/b], I don't care what fancy private school you attended. The DC privates could solve this issue by simply changing the final transcript they send to colleges. We all know that a STA/NCS/Sidwell "B" is equal to a public school "A", so just alter the transcript to say that. Just help the kids out when applying to college. Grades are just arbitrary, fake numbers anyways.[/quote] I know several that hit into Ivies from Big 3 within last two years with GPAs as low as 93[/quote] And athletic recruits from big 3s with even lower. For non athletes Maybe not ED but yes regular decision. [/quote]
