[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No A-minuses at STA. This is important for college admissions. Sidwell gives a ton of A-minuses, which bring down the GPAs.[/quote] This is hardly a reason to choose one over the other..... And - [b]STA doesn't give letter grades at all, correct? [/b] So one might argue it hurts a straight A student with a 94 average because it is distinguishable from a 98 average. [/quote] Wrong. Letter grade goes on the transcript. Number is used when figuring out the gpa on a 100 point scale. [/quote] So for colleges that recalculate (many do not) they put in a 4.0 for every A.....[/quote] This is true. Also my son's gpa who is currently at STA is calculated with all classes with a number grade so those 97 and 98 classes really help boost the gpa.[/quote]
