[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oldest kid attended a non-DMV well known private and had "P" on transcript for PE. Got into 4/4 ivies and other T20. I don't think letter grade vs. P matters for PE[/quote] [b]This is a TJ specific issue[/b]. Many Asian kids take PE p/f for grade bump. It distorts the ranking when students with better grades have lower gpa's compared to p/f students. So colleges look at transcript primarily since they know what these TJ students are trying to game with the gpa. It actually hurts them.[/quote] Lots of kids at lots of schools do this for the grade bump. Colleges look at UW GPA for that reason, it's not TJ specific (or race specific). [/quote]
