[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cash isn't king, there are too many full pay applicants. GPA, however, is king...[/quote] How can something as inconsistent and easily manipulated as GPA be king? Most schools don't even post their average GPA on the CDS and those that do often show that they are reporting for a small percentage of student GPAs, and they don't disclose how they (re)calculated the GPA anyway.[/quote] Because test optional schools need a way to compare students and most don’t have the resources to know or care about which privates and public are more or less challenging than others in a random metro area hundreds of miles from their campus. The school will manipulate the GPA Toni weight it or strip PE and art and to turn it into a class rank of that isn’t provided, but it’s all going to be based off of GPA this year because there is nothing else to compare unhooked kids[/quote]
