[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UC's cannot say an A from a private school is worth more than an A from an inner city public school. That would not be fair to the inner city student who is attending his or her neighborhood school. I don't know how UC's are going to base their decisions. there is rampant grade inflation particularly in upper middle class public schools.[/quote] They weight APs and honors courses, which tend to be much more available at the upper middle class school (public or private). Grade inflation happens too, but that varies widely, with some rigorous privates actually being deflationary. (At least in the past, lol; I don't imagine that will last long.)[/quote] the smart poorer districts will start labeling more courses as honors. They may not have the resources to offer AP, but they can rename a course and weight GPAs accordingly [/quote]
