[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why people find her results so surprising. NCS girls tend to do well in college admissions because these schools find the girls to be very well prepared. If a smart girl has been a slacker, with lower than expected grades, does a college care if she was at a school that expected a lot, if she clearly wasn't willing to put in the effort? Even though it seems counter-intuitive, the high test scores could actually be a disadvantage. A girl with a 3.2 who wasn't as naturally bright but worked really hard and persevered, showed a lot of grit, etc, is going to get better teacher recs and will be a more attractive candidate than a bright girl who wasn't willing to work very hard.[/quote]
