[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More evidence says high school performance is the strongest indicator. [/quote] But not as applied to these two highly competitive schools. It’s a different applicant body. I’m guessing effort is a bigger factor at less competitive school where most applicants don’t have straight As.[/quote] Yes, and also the applicants who don't have perfect GPAs who get into Yale etc have the most rigorous classes taken in HS, so that isn't the same as someone with a 4.0 from a high school that didn't even offer those classes but that applicant might not have gotten great grades in all the AP classes had they taken them. I can say from having family with kids in other areas if the country, not all schools are as challenging as the schools in the DMV area, whether W publics or competitive privates, and the test scores would show far more about ability than comparing gpas from various areas.[/quote]
