[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone familiar with this website?  Our school uses to generate lists but seems of limited utility since it uses unweighted gpa and does not otherwise account for level of rigor, and not school specific for historical admissions.  Maybe I am missing something about its value?[/quote]

OMG. Nobody uses weighted GPAs  - colleges certainly don’t.  It’s worthless. Nothing above 4.0 matters. Are you unaware that how some grades are given additional points isn’t even the same in some states amongst different county school systems?   And the best privates and boarding schools don’t add extra weight to grades in honors/AP/advanced classes at all?  Weighted GPAs are a ridiculous gimmick of pretentious suburban public schools.

Schools certainly look at the rigor of a student’s class work, most colleges list it as one of the top factors they look at.  Ratings that don’t take this into account aren’t going to be the most accurate.[/quote]
This. Course selection can matter at selective schools more than all As[/quote]
