[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4.4 is def top 15-%

OP - open up Naviance scattergram.

Pick a school like UVa and VT where most TJ kids apply - and u will see that 4.4 is in the top quadrant - on the upper end.

My best guess is

3.25 to 4: 25%

4 to 4.25: 25%

4.25 to 4.40: 35%

4.40 and above 15%[/quote]

You are way off.  First of all, the Scattergrams represent the GPA at graduation when GPAs climb the highest because of all the post-AP classes every senior takes that are give them 5.0 for an A.  A [b]4.5 puts you in the top 25% of juniors[/b].  A 4.4 puts you outside the top 1/3.  [/quote]
You’re even more off. 4.5 junior year is definitely top 10%.[/quote]

That would be only 50 kids having a 4.5 or better.  There is no way that is true.   [/quote]
DC had 4.55 by junior year and was secretly told to be among top 15 person (not percent). So yeah, 4.5 could well be top 10%.[/quote]

PP said 4.55 at the end of JUNIOR year.  That is before Senior year when everybody's GPA jumps a .5 from all the 5.0 weighted classes they take senior year.  A 4.55 at the end of JUNIOR year is definately up there.[/quote]

Yes of course it's up there but top 3%?
All TJ classes are baseline honors with a small handful of exceptions.  So even a handful of APs and an unweighted 4.0 can get you there.[/quote]

Only if you get all As which is common at FCPS but really not common at TJ. [/quote]
