[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It's all about the bottom line. An unweighted 4.0 beats a 3.8 or 3.9 every time.[/quote] No it doesn’t. Not when the 4.0 kid’s sat is the low (pretty common scenario) or not rigorous classes or a host of other reasons. Or the high school, like many, is on a 100% scale and has to be converted. It’s not that simple. [/quote] Sorry I didn't make it clear: All things being equal (including SAT scores, obvi), a 4.0 beats a 3.8 or 3.9 every time. You're in denial if you think colleges and admissions reps who make $39,000 a year give a damn about rigor or "prior performance" of old alums. It's all bottom line numbers driven.[/quote] And no it doesn’t. There is no “all things being equal.” Extracurriculars, essays, and recs matter more once you’ve crossed the academic threshold.
