[quote=Anonymous]Correlating a single number that is self-calculated (Sidwell does not calculate GPAs nor does it provide class ranking) with college acceptance success is impossible in this context. Perhaps it tells you exactly what the college counseling departments have long argued; that the following factors count equally as much: 1. Difficulty of coursework and performance in the most rigorous academic courses 2. Upward trajectory of grades 3. Strong teacher evaluations (this really matters, as I have seen lackluster evaluations crater otherwise seemingly strong candidacies) 4. Particularly strong demonstrated performance in one area can be bonus[/quote]
