[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD finished at big 3 with 3.3. Accepted at tulane, Indiana (half ride), Belmont (full ride). You will be fine. [/quote] ^ doesn’t tell the full story. Likely 32 or above / 1400 or above + good essays. Parents need to stop proving gpa only. [/quote] The average SAT for most of these schools is above 1400. That's one way you can see the grade deflation. My kid had a 3.4 GPA (also took the top math and science courses, as well as the top English and social studies courses) and an SAT score that was in the 99th percentile (one sitting). Not unusual. [/quote] +1 and same with AP. When you see kids getting 5a on AP exams in classes where they worked hard for a B, that is deflation. Either the course covered more material than the standard corresponding college course, or it was graded more harshly.[/quote]
