[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for posting that link....a couple of things jump out:

1) a 3.8 GPA is regarded the same as a 4.0 for the purpose of their rubric...given how easy grading is (at least at my child's middle school), that's really interesting.  A child who has two  B+, two A-s and one A in the five core classes (and As in PE, Music, Art, and Health) would be given the same 5 points as a kid with all As.

2) The 31/36 points given to the interview is just bizarre.  Where on earth did they come up with that ratio and do they provide the specific rubric for that anywhere?  86% weight for the subjective interview seems like a recipe for abuse.....[/quote]

This is the issue I have with the GPA cutoff - a 4.0 from some schools is not the same as a 4.0 from others. Some kids will be well prepared for the Walls curriculum, some won't. [/quote]

Agreed but it's no different than college admissions.There are those that say the test wasn't fair. Some schools were simply preparing kids better than others.  None of it is perfect. Same complaints every year. [/quote]
