[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having read the first ten responses or so I can’t believe no one has said the GPA requirements have moved up with grade inflation in the public schools. OP, without retakes and grade inflation your kid would not get a B+ in their class, they’d get a C or low B. Ten years ago your kid still would not have received an offer from tech or UVA. The school is not inline with their abilities and/or academic performance. [/quote] Agree, it’s a reflection of the grade inflation and retakes in public. My kids all went to different private schools in VA that did not offer all the weighting and retake options. All got into VA colleges with GPAs below the 25% ranges for GPA, and lower test scores now that those are also skewed. [/quote]
