[quote=Anonymous]The top private colleges are aware and appear to adjust accordingly in admissions. Our kid’s independent school does not inflate grades nor does it weight grades. It offers just a few AP classes and took them out of the curriculum years ago. I think my kid is typical-high for his class: 3.75, SAT 1560 in one sitting. Non-hooked kids with similar profiles from this school go to top 25 schools, pretty much exclusively. Kids with similar profiles AND a hook go to Yale, Harvard, Penn (legacy, development) and Columbia (URM, legacy, athletic). The 3.5 - 3.85 UW thing is demonstrably not holding back these students, so I’ve concluded that admissions counselors are able to discern differences among grading practices at applicants’ high schools [/quote]
