[quote=Anonymous][quote]People don't come here to brag about their kids with 3.2 UW GPAs. [/quote] Bingo. Both of my kids graduated from an FCPS HS in a class of 500-550 students. The kids who had over a WEIGHTED 4.0 at graduation were given a special recognition in the graduation program. The number of names listed was not 500+ - it might have been around 25% of the graduating class. The number of students who had a weighted GPA over 4.0 when applying to colleges was likely lower. A handful of kids were singled out for some additional recognition and those might have been the ones with an unweighted 4.0. I had one kid apply to colleges with a weighted 3.96 (unweighted probably around 3.7 - he got a lot of A- grades, no Bs in sophomore year, but didn't take many weighted classes prior to junior year - just honors math) and he was not shut out of college admissions or merit aid.[/quote]
