[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following.  Kid is at Sidwell.  I’d celebrate kid’s 3.8(uw) all day over a 4.54(w) from Moco or any local public except TJ to demonstrate the actual value-add of HS .... but this does not help at all when top schools over-value those 4.54s.

How does Michigan or UCLA not know that so many 4.7s are the product of unlimited test retakes, super scoring in HS, creatively averaged quarter grades to blur achievement gaps, etc?

I think the colleges recalculate the GPA so all the fluff courses get dropped. Band, photography, art history and shop ...all of them are discarded. As for SATs, if you have money to send to Sidwell, then colleges expect that your kid can easily get 1550 in SAT.

Kid is in STEM magnet in MCPS. Probably will get celebrated because of perfect stats and ECs.  No hooks thankfully, [b]so will get in because of himself and not because he is Asian-American male. [/b]

You are 1) racist and 2) don’t seem to understand that it’s HARDER for Asians to get in…bc they get better test scores and grades (look at the MoCo magnets, you idiot)[/quote]

Asian kids get to grow up in way better and safer environments than kids of other racial groups. It’s not even close. [/quote]
