[quote=Anonymous]You can't compare GPA across high schools even in the same county. The grading system, retake policy, difficulty of classes is not comparable across schools. Same with class rank. A 4.3 GPA at TJ is still top 25% of the class (which is top 10% of county in STEM) and that should get a kid into UVA all other things being equal, but it just doesn't. Kids at TJ traditionally would try and make up for this with high test scores (SAT, ACT, Subject Tests, 5s on all AP exams), but with test optional this year, that is out the door. Not the above poster and not trying to denigrate those that got in, but the system is flawed.[/quote]
