[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] No. AP CS at TJ tests college 200 level data structure, whereas base high schools only teach 100 level CS materials. The academic rigor is very different among high schools. Colleges should absolutely consider the rigor of each high school and prior performance.[/quote]
