[quote=Anonymous]The reason kids from Sidwell ( and a few other schools in DC that grade stringently) get into very competitive schools with Bs is that the colleges know about grade deflation at Sidwell. Competitive colleges and universities have a formula that they use to adjust grade point averages up or down and these are marked on the admissions folder prior to it being read by the admissions officer. Also the admissions officers themselves know what grades mean from these schools. There is another thread in which this process is described in some detail.[/quote]
