[quote=Anonymous]"But the bottom line is that the admissions data points to the fact that most of those accepted in the top colleges are around a 4.0 GPA. The only way to possibly maintain such a GPA is to take honors and AP classes." Of course you can obtain a 4.0 GPA. I had one in college, with no weighted GPA. You could simply maintain an A in all your classes. This is difficult, but not impossible. I'm sure selective colleges see applicants all the time who have 4.0s in difficult classes with no weighting. It's fine if high schools want to weight, and its fine if they don't. Both are "fine" because I doubt it matters: admissions offices know how to compare transcripts from different schools. They know full well that 3.5 in hard classes from one school is a 4.2 in hard classes from another. [/quote]
